Power and Function!
SENIOR POWER TRAINING
We need to recognize how speed of contraction would impact like springing into action after a line drive in tennis. It is also critical in basic functional tasks:​​
Rising from an arm chair​
Walking
Climbing stairs
Reacting to a balance challenge (stumbling, catching oneself using hip, ankle and leg to contact quickly)

Why Senior Training is Important?
The Average decline of muscle strength is 1-1.5% per year after 30, resulting in half your strength loss by your mid 70's. Power is lost at three times that rate, with power more closely related to function than strength alone.
Dramatically impacting ones ability to contribute to life and rob us of our independence. We must regularly challenge both strength and power to retain lifelong vitality.
Ask Yourself!
Do you regularly lift, push, pull or throw? When was the last time you sprang into action? When you climbs stairs, is it a struggle or an easy step up? Can you increase your speed of walking in the middle of a crosswalk and the light changed?
Weight Training for people over the age of 60 is about POWER. Using machine weight poses a barrier to power. No momentum is involved in moving the load thereby limits the ability to increase the speed in which we use our muscles.

Speed is critical to Power
WE must work on Power:
Stand from a seated position
now sit back down and stand up slowly using a six count
Strength is a measure of how must force you can generate quickly.​
strength (slow) to rise
speed (fast) to rise quickly

Strength Training Year Round?
Strength and power training needs to be part of the year round process for any Senior who wants to maintain Independence and Life Long Vitality.

Why Lift?
Power training is not just about building muscle. Many of the important secondary characteristics of power training like increased bone density and collagen support in joints, are often overlooked.
