Training
Training is one of those things you can do by yourself — but many people don’t because they need the incentive or don’t quite know what to do; or worse, don’t think they can. Many also don’t know what to do to supplement their regular activities.
That’s where Teresa comes in. She says:
I’ve participated in sports of one type or another all my life. As a young person, I would just do it. Sometimes I was even a little intelligent and realized the importance of training before I did it. As I got older, I discovered that I could still participate if I trained properly. Then as I got older still, when many of my peers thought they were too old to move, I learned how I could tweak exercises so that I could continue to participate actively in life.
Whether you’re a cyclist, a swimmer, a marathoner, triathlete, a tough mudder, or simply a participant in life, I can show you how to be active more effectively.
Training is a learning process. You learn to listen to your body in order to achieve your goals. It’s not only about muscles and movement, but also about sleep and nutrition. It’s about learning how your body functions and how to supplement that so you may live optimally. It’s about balance and function on several levels. It’s actually quite fascinating to be introduced to your body, no matter how old you are.

Senior Fitness
Fitness doesn’t end at a magic number.

Yes, our bodies change and we find we aren’t able to perform … Continue reading Senior Fitness
