Jim is 84 years old. His friends no longer exercise. One friend who couldn’t get out of squat position asked Jim if he could still squat. He responded, “Hell, I can do it with weights”.
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
John is a 82 year old psychologist. One of his patients is the same age and lives in a senior care facility. John conducts sessions with him at the facility. John lives at home.
Both Jim and John have been coming to our Austin Fitness Training location for once-a-week 30 minutes exercise sessions for going on 17 years. If John or Jim had not exercised the past 17 years it is likely they’d be in the same diminished physical state as some of their contemporaries.
Both have faced serious health challenges - cancer and heart valve replacement. Had they faced these challenges in weakened states the likelihood of positive outcomes would have been far less likely.
Do nothing about your physical fitness, and a year from now you will get a downgrade in your ability to engage in physical activities - to do them well, without injury, for longer, or even enjoy them. Instead, imagine making a small positive change each week; do that for a year, and you will get an upgrade.
One session a week has been shown to be optimal for strength gains for seniors. It is not how much exercise you can tolerate it is how little you need to produce positive change. Do a little more each week, and over time, it will be transformative. This exercise program has a very high compliance rate (17 years for Jim and John), and the positive results are there to see (We track the results).
If you do nothing, you’ll be weaker, have less energy, and be more prone to sickness and injury. When injuries do occur the outlook for recovery will not be encouraging. With proper strength training you will:
Revitalize impaired mitochondria which means you’ll have the energy you had years earlier.
For Jim and John this workout has been like a fountain of youth. If you hope to be active and healthy in 17 years start making positive change now.
