While inspiration and willpower come and go, your habits will sustain... Continue Reading

Hey, this is Cara-Michele with another client spotlight interview. Staying focused on self-care as a tool for recharging my batteries is not always easy.  So, I love showing off folks that keep me inspired and motivated. But, I always have mixed emotions when my older female clients tell me that they are ready to start exercising more.

Kim:  The  program  has  helped  me  become  more  organized  and  thoughtful  about  what  I’m  doing – about  what  I’m  taking  in,  my  mindset,  and  reflection  on  my  steps.  But,  the  biggest  benefit  is  that  I  feel  better.  I  see  a  difference  in  my  clothing,  so  I  know  my  body’s  shifting.

You don’t have time to be sidelined, and lower back pain is one of the top reasons people seek medical treatment. In this blog, I will give you three causes of low back pain and how to avoid them.   PROBLEM #1 – Unconsciously teaching your body to create pain.

After months of sitting most of the day, they will shorten and pull on the pelvis and lower back when you want to be more active. Solution #1:  Slowly increase your movement If you haven’t been... Continue Reading

“Come to bootcamp with me! It’s so fun and you’ll feel great,” your friend encourages. You go along, you want to spend time with people you care about and fitness is important–what could go wrong? Strained muscles, new back problems, or knee pain; bodies over 50 have different needs and the goals of ‘fitness’ often change. The bootcamp scenario is exactly why I became certified as a personal trainer for aging adults. I would have clients coming in who wanted to exercise, but return with new problems.
