WHAT'S MY WHY?
Strength and conditioning training builds confidence and empowers those who dare - dare to meet themselves where they are no matter what age or starting point, dare to go to that vulnerable spot and start with "I can," and dare to persevere through the struggle knowing that strength lies on the other side.
​
My strength training women over 40 isn’t just about reshaping our bodies. It is so much more! Social media and anti-aging advertising have steered us wrong about what training should be and what it means to age. My own strength training has evolved as I have evolved and am now 63 years old with grandchildren. I now include not only lifting weights, but balance work, change of direction work, moving quickly, and stretching for mobility.
​
These pillars are essential and must be trained in order for us to age well. By training them consistently, you will:
-
Build and maintain resiliency to help prevent injury,
-
Develop and sustain strength to lift and carry heavy objects safely,
-
Maintain mobility to move freely and with ease
-
Preserve balance and confidence to handle everyday challenges.​​
My Strength Training Philosophy
My strength training philosophy is rooted in individuality.
-
Every client who trains with me 1:1 comes to me with a unique story—different bodies, training histories, injury backgrounds, lifestyles, and preferences.
-
I meet each person exactly where he or she is, designing programs tailored to needs and adjusting in real time based on energy, stress, or sleep.
The Five Pillars of Training
My approach is grounded in universal principles of human performance. These principles—shaped by my personal training journey, professional development, and ongoing study of movement, fascia, and strength science—apply to everyone, regardless of age, gender,
or athletic ability.
​
To age successfully, move freely, and stay confident in our bodies, I believe we must train five non-negotiable elements:
​
-
Balance
-
Mobility
-
Flexibility (distinct from mobility)
-
Strength
-
Power
​
When these qualities are neglected, we risk becoming restricted in our movement and losing independence over time. Training is not just about fitness—it’s about longevity, freedom, and quality of life.
A high school athlete’s plan will look very different from that of a parent managing back pain or an office worker sitting eight hours a day. The best program is always the one that is realistic, sustainable, and tailored to the individual. But no matter the person, these five pillars form the foundation.
