Senior training

Unless people do regular strength exercise, they lose over five pounds of muscle and significant amounts of bone mass every decade of their adult life. This results in a progressively slower metabolism and is associated with numerous degenerative problems and diseases, such as low back pain, obesity, heart disease, adult diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Fortunately, a sensible and successful strength training program is not an energy- sapping, or time-consuming ordeal. Your elderly relative needs only to exercise 20 to 30 minutes, two or three days a week, to develop relatively high levels of musculoskeletal fitness

A session, or a block of training sessions, can introduce individuals back into exercise, updating those who have lapsed and introducing it as a fresh new challenge to those who maybe haven’t exercised regularly since leaving school

"On being diagnosed with Osteoporosis, I started to jog as I had been advised this would be helpful. I quickly became aware that I didn't know how to develop this, and being completely unfit before, I decided to seek expert advice. Joe assessed me first, then designed a personal plan for me to increase my fitness. It gave me the confidence to believe I really could improve my fitness levels.

Having kept to his plan, I was able to run a 5km "Race for Life" event in Paris. Something I would never have believed I could do. Now, feeling so much fitter, I continue to jog twice a week to maintain that fitness, together with other exercises Joe recommended.

Thanks to Joe, I am now the fittest I've ever been and inspired to maintain it." Julie L.
