Never too late to change fat into muscle and thrive in life

I have been working one-on-one to provide personal training for 72 year-old woman at 24 Hour Fitness on Sunrise.  She came to me in March, recently widowed, looking for an outlet and way to get improve her health and fitness for her children and soon to be grandchildren.

She has always been an active woman who participated in three and five-mile walks with her husband.  Still grieving her loss, she decided to join the gym to keep her mind busy and to better herself physically.   She started off with a beginner package and her body responded immediately to these five one-hour sessions.  Noticing the results and enjoying the time we spent together, she decided to invest in herself with the (20) half-hour session package.

This is a bright woman who was was hurting deeply but knew that she had a choice; she could sit and cry about her loss or she could pick up her chin and keep moving forward, as her dearly loved husband would have wanted her to do.  She also understands that the vitality of her eighties depends on the choices she makes in her seventies.  She committed herself 100% to her health and well-being.
Three times a week for six-weeks, I greeted this remarkable lady at 8:30am and put her through a progressively challenging exercise program designed to help her reach her goals.  As her body responded to the various training methods, I pushed a little further.  We laughed some mornings and groaned others but her dedication paid off.

My 72 year-old superstar decreased her body fat percentage by 4% and increased her self confidence 100% and her posture exudes this confidence.  Her body now moves more efficiently as an integrated unit; using more muscle fibers and burning more calories throughout her daily activities.   She is energized and although she is still grieving, she is ready for the next chapter in her life.

Here she is doing a stability ball birddog exercise......perfect form!!! Way to go Eeeeds.
