Exercise for Adults 50+

Since the beginning of my fitness career, my goal has always been to impact senior’s lives physically, mentally and emotionally and to help them improve their strength and mobility in order to make living in their homes safer. I see how seniors need to laugh, chat and have fun along with the exercises. My approach is to make exercising enjoyable and social, so at the end of the session, the senior client feels amazing and is looking forward to the next session! Over my career working with seniors, I have seen many caregivers burn out and I realize that the more independent their senior parent is, the less of a strain it is on the care giver.

Have you ever stopped to think what the goal of your exercise routine is? We have all heard that we should be exercising for our health. It’s true that being active in almost any form will benefit our health, but why not really make your fitness routine work for you? What I mean by that is to be intentional with your exercise routine. Use exercise to make your daily life easier and become more independent. This, my friends, is the aim of functional fitness.
