It feels amazing, amazing to be so much stronger!
I walk an hour every day, usually in the morning, but if it’s cold outside I’ll get the 10000 steps in anyway even if I do them in the house. Now my mind is that way I never think ‘I don’t want to do it’. I need todo it. If I get everything in for myself, then I can focus on my family and work for the rest of the day. it’s just a mindset.
In my work I see that many 50 year olds struggle physically. They can’t walk well, have knees hurting, back hurting. Yet I run after my two and a half year old grandson but never feel tired. I love what I’m doing.
HAD LOST CONDITIONING
GOT TENNIS ELBOW
WANTED TO BE FITTER
SIZE 14 TO SIZE 8
FULL OF ENERGY
FEEL GREAT
I got tennis elbow and had to give up the gym. It was really quite bad, so I switched to Bikram yoga, which was great. But after a couple of years, I’d actually lost my conditioning and couldn’t run anymore.
I heard about the gym and my husband joined. He had stopped smoking but that led to him putting on some weight. Then my daughter joined, and I thought, I can do this too!
To start with I was just pleased to be getting stronger.It’s never been most about my weight, that came later when I wanted to look good for my son’s wedding.
Hopefully we’ll be retiring this year. I’m also 65 this year and for my birthday I’ve told my husband I want to do an activity holiday, maybe Costa Rica, hiking and doing lots of things together. I’m 64 years old and I can run after my grandson and never feel I’m tired.
The studio is the best place! The coaches are just amazing and Sam is like a son to me!
