Stronger Over 50

Heather Dennis stretches on a yoga mat, promoting active aging and flexibility through mindful movement techniques in her Pilates and yoga practice.

Here’s where we Train for Life

Do your knees hurt getting up out of a chair?Back aches after gardening?
Even worse you’ve given up doing the things you love, convinced every time you do them you get hurt.

You go to the doctor and ask for something to take the pain away. You wait months to get into a specialist.

Meanwhile she tells you this pain is normal and quips, “What do you expect at your age?”

Maybe you’re told to do more exercise or less. But what kind of exercise ?

Maybe you’ve been going to yoga...forever, or love your Tai Chi class. You’ve got friends you meet there every week. But it’s just not helping with those stiff knees and cranky hips.

Here we do things differently

We learn to move better.

Restore movement patterns long lost to a busy life. And we wake up muscles that have forgotten their job. In interesting, effective and fun movement lessons.

Muscle is the organ of longevity

Did you know that building muscle is a scientifically proven way of getting out of pain?

We used to believe that stretching would fix what hurt us.

But that’s outdated thinking. As we get older we need strength. We need to build muscle because muscle is the organ of longevity.

However if we try to strengthen muscles without having good alignment through our joints, that’s when strength training can hurt rather than heal.

The fact is most of us could use some reeducation about how to get our joints moving well, how to find a better relationship with gravity something we used to call posture and how to lengthen our connective tissue.

Maybe you:

✗ Don’t know how to strengthen your muscles

✗ Or have signed up at a gym and gotten hurt

✗ Or do programs that are inappropriate for active adult spines over 50

✗ Or think it will take too much time

That changes now

You can get stronger at home. You just have to learn. Let me show you how.

Here we use light weights, yoga blocks and resistance bands to strengthen patterns of movement we do every day. Like getting up off the floor or a chair. Bending over to pickup groceries or kneeling while we garden.

And those patterns are what allow us to do things like cycling, curling or pickleball.

Training patterns that are used in everyday living are the key to moving better and managing the aches of pains we’ve mistakenly accepted as aging.
