"I'm Probably The Oldest Person In This Class"

10/23/2014

0 Comments

 
Strong Women Thursday night class - after class a participant was lamenting to me about how her knees and hips just don't work like they used to and how she's had surgery and needs more and she says, "I bet I'm the oldest person in this class."  I told her that she's only as old as she feels and as I'm talking she bends over at the waist and touches the floor, raises back up and says I'll be 80 next year. I was shocked, she doesn't look 80 and what flexibility she had.  She claimed it was due to her Tai Chi classes. 

Way to go! Keep up the good work!

Music Makes All The Difference

"British Invasion" was the answer.  "What music would you like to hear during next week's Strong Women class?" was the question. Oh, my goodness, I had no idea how powerful music was.  It totally changed the class atmosphere in Monday night's class. Two ladies afterwards told me how they knew every song I played and how it transcended them back into their earlier days. Ladies were singin',  groovin'  and tellin' me to turn up the volume.

Has music ever made a difference for you? Tell me how it did in the comment section below.

    I am a late bloomer in the fitness world. At the age of 45 I received my group fitness instructor certification and two years later my health coaching certification.

    I led my fomer employer's wellness program for 13 years and I teach fitness classes part-time for the local city recreation program.

    I am certified to teach, Punk Rope, Kettlebell AMPD, Strong Women, Strong Women Healthy Hearts and enjoy teaching a combination of yoga/Pilates.
     
    To date one of my proudest fitness moments occurred at the end of 2013.  In December 2012 I set a goal to run a 5k each month in 2013. I ran 11 5k's and climbed 47 flights of stairs in the Fight For Air Climb the remaining month. 

    As Dr. Kenneth Cooper, Cooper Institute says, "We do not stop exercising because we grow old - we grow old because we stop exercising."

    Keep moving!
    Be social!
    Stay strong!
    Eat well!
    Live long!
