Strength & Power - a guide for older adults

STRENGTH & POWER: A guide for older adults
You count on your muscles for every move you make — from standing up or bending down to climbing stairs or carrying groceries. Weakened muscles compromise your ability to do those things.
Strong muscles provide the command and confidence to do not just everyday tasks, but all the activities you love to do.

That's what makes safe strength training so important and why it should be part of your exercise routine or more so….part of your daily LIFESTYLE. Just as the cardiovascular benefits of aerobic exercise can add years to your life, strength training can make those years fuller and more rewarding, keeping you fit, active, and self-reliant.

i.move will show you how to start an effective strength and power training program — one that produces results you will see and feel within weeks and that is safe. You will feel more flexible, add tone to your body, and most important, your muscles and bones will be stronger.

Strength and Power Training explains what makes resistance training (the right kind of/clever weight training) such a valuable tool for regaining and maintaining muscle power and improving mobility, agility, and the ability to do all you need — and want — to do. 

i.move will introduce you to the workouts. These 2 workshop sessions with Jeanne will offer you intelligent direction in choosing exercises that match your body, fitness level and goals. You will receive answers to key questions, from how often should you work out to how much weight or resistance should you use and how to use these SAFELY.

Strength and Power Training's workouts prove you can have gain without pain. Workout One aims to help you build strength for daily tasks and recreation. Workout Two extends your success with exercises that bring variety and challenge. Plus, you'll get added exercises for stretching, balancing, and switching up your routine.

You'll get tips for avoiding injury, for charting progress, for keeping sessions fun, and much more.
