If you’ve noticed your shoulders rounding forward or your posture slipping as you’ve gotten older, you’re not alone. Research shows that posture declines gradually after 50, and often without you realizing it. Hours spent sitting, looking down at screens, and reduced muscle strength all contribute to the change. What’s more, poor posture can negatively impact […]
Ah, the natural aging process. So many things happen to your body after you hit 55. Your estrogen levels decrease, which causes the redistribution of body fat, and so does your muscle mass. These issues can lead to lower muscle tone, thinner skin, and subcutaneous fat accumulation in your inner thighs. The result? Jiggly thighs. […]
Building a strong, firm midsection can feel much more approachable when you return to simple, controlled movements that actually connect with your body. Training on the bed gives you a stable, comfortable setup where you can slow things down, feel each rep, and stay focused on how your core is working. That awareness is a […]
Glute strength plays a big role in how your body feels and performs throughout the day. It supports your hips, helps you stay balanced, and lets you move with control, whether you’re standing, bending, or changing direction. When your glutes are doing their job, everything underneath your waist tends to feel more stable and connected. […]
Over the weekend, I went to a birthday celebration at a friend’s house. On the menu? Ribs (from Costco) and all the fixings. And, for dessert? Ice cream cake, brownies, and some delicious-looking cookies from Costco. “These are the new viral Costco cookies,” the host divulged to me. “Everyone is sharing about them.” Well, I […]
Strength after 55 tends to show up in the little things first, and arrives a little differently than it did when you were younger. Getting out of bed feels smoother, carrying groceries feels more controlled, and you move through your day with a bit more confidence, without really thinking about it. Strength in your 50’s […]
Fitness after 60 doesn’t come down to how hard you train, it comes down to how well your body moves, stabilizes, and produces strength under control. I’ve coached adults across every decade, and one thing stands out clearly: those who can control their body in standing positions tend to outperform younger individuals who rely on […]
Firming a belly pooch after 55 doesn’t come down to doing more workouts; it comes down to doing the right movements more consistently. Most gym routines rely on machines or floor-based exercises that don’t always carry over into how your body actually moves during the day. I’ve coached clients in this age group for years, […]
Leg muscle after 60 doesn’t just need effort, it needs the right kind of stimulation, delivered consistently. Squats help, but they often miss key elements like balance, coordination, and controlled tension across different angles. I’ve coached older adults for years, and the ones who rebuild leg muscle fastest rarely rely on one movement. They use […]
I’m a personal trainer and fitness educator at TRAINFITNESS and I’ve spent close to 40 years working with adults over 60 who want their strength back. The good news is that the body responds to training at any age. The bad news is that most people wait far too long before they do anything about […]
