Strength Training for 60+

Use it or Lose it!  Our 21st Century lifestyle is too comfortable and we are becoming less resilient … particularly as we age.

Women over 60 tend to lead less active lifestyles due to family commitments, ageing myths, cultural mindsets, Big Food and Big Pharma.

This revolutionary course teaches women over 60 how to stay strong, mobile and pain free through their later years.

The equipment (which is part of the  course package) is easy to set up at home –  all you need is a door, an anchor, a light loopband and a realatively small space to get started.

This revolutionary Course uses door anchors, carabiners and loop bands.  

Variable band resistance is  friendly on the joints, easy to adjust intensity and will tuck into a corner of your holiday suitcase.

By using door anchors and bands we are no longer dependent upon gravity and most of the exerices are done in a functional upright posture functional – standing or  easier seated options.

Functional, safe and effective strength training is not so much about what you do as how you do it!  Technique is key – not just to get the desired results but more importantly to avoid injury – and so are the Guidelnes.

The Warm Up includes a low level pulse raiser and mobilisation.  It is important to do a warm up before your workouts to prepare you for the work to follow and help reduce the chance of injury.

This Level 1 course works the main muscle groups of the Upper Body, Lower Body, Shoulders and Arms. 

Stretching is done post workout.  It is important that the correct technique is followed for safe and effective stretching.
