Personal Training for Longevity

I just had my annual physical. The doctor said my lungs were clear, my blood pressure, oxygen, blood work, and pulse were all good. She gave me a thumbs-up on health!

Take Up Running

Running may not be the easiest option for those who have been sedentary for a long time. However, it is an excellent choice for anyone using personal training for longevity. Studies have shown that runners have a lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer. Since heart disease and cancer are the top two causes of death in the US, reducing the risk of both could aid in achieving a longer life.

Running does not need to mean jogging through a park or anywhere else in public. HomeBodies Personal trainers can also assist their clients through treadmill workouts at home or at a gym. Running is adaptable for those who have been sedentary and need to start slow. It is a beneficial option for many people, but not necessarily those with joint diseases or other medical concerns that require a low-impact sport.

Ease Into Yoga

Yoga can seem complex, but it is an excellent option for beginners. The gentle and endlessly adaptable movements are perfect for every fitness level. A longevity personal trainer can collaborate with clients to provide them with a routine to meet their needs. Yoga works towards longevity goals by helping to reduce anxiety and depression, improving blood pressure, and strengthening the immune system.

Yoga involves deep stretching to increase blood circulation for better muscle and joint health. These improvements provide better balance for stability and a reduced risk of injury through falls. The calming workout also reduces stress, an issue that can lead to many increased health risks. Yoga offers so many benefits it is an excellent option for all clients.

Try Strength Training

Strength training does not mean bodybuilding. Many people avoid this workout option because they want a lean frame and worry that strength-building will cause them to look bulky. It takes excessive lifting and a high-calorie, protein-rich diet to obtain muscles large enough to achieve a bodybuilder's frame. Average strength training programs help people to gain the lean look they desire while maximizing stability and balance. Staying strong reduces the risk of injuries as people age. Seniors who lose strength are less likely to remain healthy and independent.

Strength training does not necessarily mean deadlifting weights. Instead, it is a workout that can include the addition of weighted ankle and wrist bands during other exercises or using resistance bands. Like all workout regimens designed by a personal trainer, the plans are customized for each client to help them achieve their goals.

Exercise with Aerobics

Cardio plans provide maximum heart and lung strengthening that aid in weight loss, better blood circulation, and improvements in overall health. Aerobics can include many activities that start at the level of the client and increase as needed to keep the individual at the targeted heart rate.

Boosting the strength of the cardiovascular system is a goal of any longevity personal training program. A healthy heart and lungs ensure the blood stays fully oxygenated and circulates effectively. Aerobic workouts may also help reduce depression and boost the metabolism for easier weight control.

Consider Pole Dancing

Pole dancing is an optimal fitness option. There are beginner classes for pole dancing, but this workout is best for those who want to continue to improve and participate in an intense routine. The rewards are worth the effort. Pole dancing provides benefits in strength, coordination, and balance. It is an excellent cardiovascular workout. Anyone who wants to find new challenges for themselves but often gives up on traditional workout plans because of boredom will love the fun and versatility that pole dancing offers.

Include Nutritional Counseling

Exercise helps people work towards their longevity goals, but how people nourish their body matters too. A healthy diet provides the energy needed to exercise and to keep muscles strong. The healthy eating plans devised through nutritional counseling can also help people to reduce their risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. In addition, eating well boosts the immune system and may help people find relief from depression, PMS, and more.

Regardless of the workout plan people choose, a HomeBodies personal trainer will adapt the program to your fitness level. The sessions will gradually gain intensity to encourage personal growth and increased ability. Personal training offers flexibility in the type of exercise the client chooses and the location where the workout occurs.

People can work out in their homes, their yards, at a local park, or in a gym. Wherever the client is most comfortable is a good workout location. In addition, a virtual training program is a convenient alternative to in-person sessions for those who prefer the option or need to for health reasons.
