My generation sometimes thrives on the notion that aging means everything hurts & you’re we’re going to keep declining.

Too often I hear “this getting old thing sucks”. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO!!

Our view of pain & activity across our lifespan is warped! Getting older doesn’t mean things you used to love should be off limits or unattainable. BECAUSE we’re older, we have ADVANTAGES: more money, more time (hello fellow ) & wisdom!!

This is NOT 1980-something. Exercise has evolved much like our cars, televisions, & how we communicate! Science proves our bodies are resilient & can adapt at any age!

Imagine how fit and healthy you can become & STAY in the next few decades! Way better than the alternative, isn’t it?

This is the 21st century narrative & I want to introduce you to it. Don’t accept the “well I’m l older now so I can’t do that anymore” attitude. YOU DESERVE BETTER!

DISCOVER YOUR NEW NARRATIVE! Discover THE DANA DIFFERENCE! Train with me. I’m currently seeing clients in east Boca near Palmetto Park Rd. & Mizner Blvd.

Message me or email me: [email protected] so we can get to work on building your better, stronger future!

THIS AUDIO INSPIRED THE HECK OUT OF ME…. thank you for this

Women, it is time to UN-f #*k the ideas of what we should look like, how much we should or shouldn’t eat, & how much space we take up. THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY.

So…. Let go of outdated 1980s ideas!

WOMEN are smart:
✅Let’s TRAIN vs. exercise
✅Let’s speak up vs. holding our tongues
✅Let’s embrace our BIG MUSCULAR a$$es vs. squeezing into too-tight jeans
✅Let’s SHOW UP for OURSELVES vs. people pleasing

📝Reflecting on all the 100s of hours & various women I’ve worked with & I’m so inspired by them & how empowered & fantastic they feel when they realize the capacity of their mental & physical strengths.

If you want in on what it feels like to unlock your true power, train with me! We focus on form, function, feelings, & friendship with astounding side effects, like strength, less pain, skyrocketing confidence & resilience!

Come & get it ladies. It’s yours for the taking!

I have a couple hours available weekly for one to one personal IN-PERSON training (or even small group — 3 people max). If you’re in east Boca, reach out & schedule with me! Email: [email protected] or send me a message!

Happy Friday!

So many low hanging fruits for overall health! We spend little time with our arms overhead in the 21st Century. This isn’t the way we were designed to be! SO…. one of the low hanging fruits to “undo” the “under-movement” of our arms is hanging!

If you’re not able to do that right now, find a doorway & spend some time with your arms overhead there a few times daily! It works wonders for & a lot of discomfort we have in our bodies.

REMINDER: we didn’t get tight & weak overnight. This is decades of cumulative under movement of our moving parts! Start slow & rebuild what you have!

If this is your type of “workout” & you’re looking for , if you’re intimidated because it’s been a long time, maybe never, or maybe you have aches & pains, I’d love to help you move freely & feel better while getting you stronger & building a resilient YOU!

Contact me to set up a session in today! Email me: [email protected] or message me here!

FEELING FREEDOM

I’ve been in that place where my body lacked physical freedom.

After 2015 back surgery I was bound with restrictions.

No lifting,
No bending,
No twisting.

I didn’t feel free.
Not of pain,
Not to move,
Not from doubt.

But I was free.
To decide relearn how to move,
To research what worked,
To educate myself,
To explore.

And slowly, I set myself free.

This week, I’m grateful to flex my “freedom muscles” taking time to move.

I enjoyed freedom of space,
I enjoyed freedom of time,
I enjoyed freedom of moving my body.

I’m grateful to have access to places where I can express freedom of movement but mostly for the ability to do things I didn’t think physically possible.

If you feel trapped in your body because of pain, weakness, loss of balance, or just lack confidence to move & do things you love, I’d love to FREE YOU.

Plan on this summer, but your hips & knees sometimes talk to you (especially on the descent)?

Here’s a simple move to add into your routine to strengthen the lateral part of you hips, pelvis & butt!

WHY? Strengthening this area helps take some of the work away from your knees & back because it helps make your hips & pelvis stronger so they can do some of the grunt work.

Give it a try & let me know how you do! Use a yoga block, book or any solid surface to elevate the working leg just enough to allow space to lower (decelerate) the non working leg.

Remember to keep the elevated leg straight (no knee bend) & keep it slow 🐢 both on the drop & when you level up the feet!

CUES:
👀eyes on the horizon
🔦shine imaginary lights straight ahead from the front of hip bones
🫄belly button faces forward
👣put a footprint hole in the block/surface to bring non-working leg level with working leg

Give it a go & let me know how it feels!

Please comment, like & share if you find this helpful! Have a great day! All the best from your local personal trainer !
