AgeWell Fitness for 55 and over

Came unmoored yesterday. Fifty points if you can guess what movie this boat was used in. Hint “50”

TEDxFolsom was an amazing success today, such an amazing volunteer crew made it happen. We set up the VIP lunchroom and made it amazing.

We've got our Spring colors on! Ready to make fitness happen!

Make your workouts fun! Incorporating games and challenges makes all the difference. Most important, include a SMART Goal:

S—Specific. Make sure you detail your goal. “Get stronger” isn’t enough. How about “squat 100 pounds” or “deadlift 150 pounds”? Those are specific goals.



M—Measurable. You need some way to measure your success. “Feel better” isn’t going to help. But this will: “Have the energy to walk my dog for 20 minutes in the evening every day.”



A—Achievable. Be aggressive but realistic. Winning the marathon? That’s going to take a lot of work over a lot of years! But completing a marathon? That’s doable with effort and smart training. If you tend to under- or overestimate yourself, talk to a coach for perspective on what you can accomplish when.



R—Relevant. Make sure your goal is part of something larger. If you set random goals or goals that don’t resonate with you, they won’t motivate you long term. Make sure your goal reflects your larger purpose. For example, don’t say, “I want to deadlift 100 pounds because it seems like a good goal.” Say, “I want to deadlift 100 pounds so I can pick up my child whenever I need to!” See how the second version carries more weight, so to speak?



T—Time bound. Put your goals on a schedule. So many of us don’t act without a deadline and a little accountability. So set a goal like this: “I want to do 10 double-unders in a row within three months.”



If you follow this plan, you’ll create a list of short-term and long-term goals that will keep you motivated.

A healthy meal to enjoy after your workout or for dinner!

Don’t forget your water, you lovely houseplant 😊
