I specialize in personal training for adults 40 years old and above with a focus on strength, flexibility, balance, and cardio endurance. My passion is designing creative movement plans that restore optimum fitness to my clients so that they can do what they love.
RESISTANCE TRAINING/STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT:
Resistance training is a key component in maintaining peak physical capacity and slowing age related declines. Utilizing exercise bands, free weights, and isometric exercises can increase bone density in as little as six weeks! Resistance training also increases muscle strength and stamina and helps joints move with less pain.
CARDIO TRAINING:
Cardio training helps improve blood flow, reduce stress, lower risk of heart disease, and improve brain function.
LOW-INTENSITY STEADY-STATE (LISS)
Cardio exercise like walking, running, and cycling, is a great way to burn calories and train your aerobic system.
HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING
(HIIT) involves alternating short bouts of intense movement with periods of rest. It increases your body’s ability to convert food into energy and optimizes how your heart, lungs, and muscles use oxygen. For adults over 40, appropriate HIIT exercises can increase overall cardio capacity while keeping aging joints safe. It’s a great way to increase cardiovascular efficiency in a time-crunched schedule.
PLYOMETRIC MOVEMENT:
Movements such as skipping, jumping rope, or throwing a weighted ball can develop and maintain speed and force in muscles which translates into being more agile.
BALANCE:
Optimal balance depends on vision, the inner ear and the sensory system built into our muscles and joints. With balance training, each of these components can be strengthened to help the nervous system get accurate information to the brain which adds up to fall prevention.
FLEXIBILITY:
Stretching promotes circulation to your muscles and helps to optimize the range of motion in your joints. Flexible muscles are more likely to respond to unexpected movements without injury.
