Special Populations & Life Stages

Age is just a number—movement is for everyone. I’ve worked with clients in their 60s, 70s, even 80s who’ve gained strength, improved balance, and reduced pain just by staying active. You don’t need to lift heavy—just move often and with purpose.

Focus on low-impact strength training, mobility work, and walking. Exercises like chair squats, banded rows, light dumbbell presses, and gentle stretching can do wonders.

Listen to your body, train with good form, and be consistent. It’s never too late to get stronger.

You Can’t Spot-Reduce Fat

Let’s bust this myth once and for all: you cannot burn fat in just one area by doing targeted exercises. I’ve had clients ask if 100 crunches a day will burn belly fat. The answer is no.

Fat loss happens systemically—your body decides where it comes off first. Want to lose fat around your midsection? Focus on overall fat loss through consistent nutrition, strength training, and cardio. Core work still matters, but for strength and posture—not “burning” belly fat.

Train smart, fuel right, and trust the process. The changes will show.
