Imagine the surprise when a member of the Grove City Senior Center stood from a chair with no pain for the first time in a very long time. Her face said it all!
This wonderful woman was trying to work through her pain by participating in exercises her body wasn't quite ready for. She was so determined to do floor work that she put her body at risk for pain and injury. When I showed her proper form and explained that she can modify her movements, she was very encouraged. She was so happy that she shared her good news with her friends. Now I am coaching them so they feel empowered and in control of their own body once again. When your body tells you it hurts, listen. I will help you understand your limits. I observe while you exercise so that I can design specific exercises for your needs. You will strengthen and tone your muscles so you don’t put pressure and unnecessary stress on your joints. Your muscles (not joints) should carry you through your daily activities. Allow me to show you how to improve your strength, stability, posture, endurance, and range of motion by using proper form. By building muscle, you decrease your risk of falling and feel more in control. If you are nervous to be in a group setting or prefer one on one coaching, my personal fitness studio is a good place for you. Call, text, or email me to set up an appointment. If you love to socialize while you work out, check out my website for class times and locations. Let me know if you have any questions!
