When I turned 50 years of age, I noticed that my physical performance activity had been diminished substantially from my younger days as  a high school wrestler, ball player, then AAU swimmer and triathlete.  My physical training regimens had to change with the passing of time. This is a fact of life, but it is also a fact that habitual participation in safe physical activity can prevent and reduce the effects of aging and nagging injuries…. As long as you have the knowledge of corrective exercise and senior fitness protocols. I have empathy because I live it.

I am a full-time caregiver. And it’s fine. There are many who are as I am.  I strive every day to emulate my blood type….”B-positive”.  The motivation to improve and maintain daily physical functional outcomes led me to this passion. I see so many older adults who I know want to improve their daily physical functional levels, but inside them cannot find the drive and have fear and discomfort.  It is all about how you think and feel. You have the power to change that.

I am positively committed to helping older adults achieve a fitter outcome to improve and expand their daily physical capabilities. I am committed to helping one change their competency, confidence, performance motivation The psychology of it is simple to say…. “Just do it” “Just Show Up….take Action”,.. In reality, if your on the fence about it and you already tried to “go it alone”; then how about just a conversation to explore “what is possible”?. “That’s all it is. (631) 901-5164.

One-on-One Online Training (ANY Level)

This is a lower cost approach to one-on-one training. Your training program is designed from an initial physical assessment and then a one-on-one 2 times/ week. (6 week minimum.) We can also conduct training sessions at the Bardmoor YMCA, Seminole Florida.

Level Two (2) Training (L2)

L2 Training for Over50’s can also easily be performed at home. You need 4 x 7 ft space, a mat, and some Weights, elastic bands, a swiss ball, a chair. Oh and a Box (Optional) Same for a kettlebell. But not right away. The first part of this training is

L2.1 Core Stabilization and Strength. (min 4 weeks) A lot of floor exercises, weighted and non-weighted (isometric), and elastic band work. Usually contains Corrective Exercises to strengthen joint mechanics. And access to the video library for exercise references.. And chats about nutrition and eating habits.

L2.2 Strength & Endurance (min 4 weeks) An expanded set of exercises and exercise sequence strategies designed for Over 50’s. The custom program is designed to get the client to an above-average fitness level for her/his biological age. Strength endurance, Core activation, Stabilization, Flexibility, Cardio. This is achieved by helping my clients understand not their limits; we know those before we start, but by learning how to be stronger, more flexible, fitter, and maybe, just maybe, a little bit faster?

Level Three (3) Training

L3 .1 Power & Motion (minimum 4 weeks) is training to increase your power. For Over50’s we’re usually talking about a golf swing. The biomechanics of the swing. Its about CorePower and correcting muscle imbalances created from repetitive motions over time. Sore shoulder? Back? You want to hit it farther? Its about swing timing, clubhead speed and, strike accuracy. Just relax….take a deep breath. Golf is Great!

I’m a cyclist. It’s how I burn a chunk of calories. I also know the repetitive cycling motion is creating some serious joint imbalances (my posture for one) over time unless I do the corrective exercises after I cycle. But I create a lot of horsepower and achieve elite level cardio-fitness for an Over50. Walking fast is great and safer. It’s about heart rate, blood pressure, modified breathing, distance, and time. The key is understanding the flexibility and strength exercises to avoid repetitive motion injuries.
