It is never too late! Your Fitness, Strength and Wellbeing awaits you.
The Functional Ageing Institute (FAI) programs that we use in our Over 50’s classes centre on “Functional Fitness.” Basically, Functional Fitness focuses on training for strength to be able to do everyday tasks such as lifting reaching, bending walking and stepping. All our clients are trained in all planes of motion (sagittal, frontal and transverse).
This combined with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, healthy eating and regular exercise can and will deliver for you the fittest version of you that is possible for the rest of your life. You just need to get started!
Remember, like so many things in our lives, life is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. And a marathon starts with the first step. Similarly, life is a journey not a destination and renewal at any age starts with the first step. Hopefully, this and our other regular blogs, will provide you with the motivation to take that first step. If you haven’t already found the benefits of eating and exercising for a better and more enriching life, I hope that you will act now.
Others have taken that first step. How about you?
“Graham has been my personal trainer for approximately 4 months. His workout has made me go from a size 16 to a size 10 in just 15 weeks. The results I have achieved to date are largely due to his diverse training, individualised exercise programs, nutritional lifestyle and counselling that has made me gain this success. His program has been set out in such a way it empowers me to push past my comfort zone towards a strong and healthy regime. Thanks Graham, you’re the best!!!!” – Marie 55
“I was feeling tired, sluggish and much older than my years. Graham gave me a plan that included a 30 min workout. The workout included a 2-3-minute run around the block, the first day I thought I’d never make it, Graham’s support and encouragement kept me going and within the first week I was jogging (which I hadn’t done in years) and I couldn’t believe how good I felt. I kept my diet clean as Graham explained, kept an eye on portion sizes and dropped a few drinks of alcohol out of the week. I felt better and better every day and within 3 months had lost 14kg! I had tried many times to lose weight and improve my fitness but found the diets and exercise programs to be very difficult, so I could never stick to it. Graham’s gentle encouragement and simple approach has been amazing, I feel 10 years younger and full of energy! (I love my new slimmer wardrobe too). Thank you so much Graham for showing me how easy it is to feel healthier and fitter in such a simple way, I still exercise 30 mins a day and eating clean foods has become an enjoyable part of my life!” – Elizabeth age 58.
