  • The Pillars of Functional Ability and Why They Matter More As We Age

    The Pillars of Functional Ability and Why They Matter More As We Age

    The Pillars of Functional Ability and Why They Matter Aging does not happen all at once. It happens quietly, often without us noticing, until everyday tasks start to feel harder than they used to. Standing up from the floor takes more effort. Balance feels less automatic. Strength fades in small ways that add up over time. At Ageless Fitness, we do not look at aging as something to fear. We look at it as a process that can be influenced, shaped, and improved through intentional movement. That belief is grounded in decades of exercise science and aging research, not trends or guesswork. The Pillars of Functional Ability are the foundation of how we train adults over 60. They ....

  • Strength Training Over 50: Why It Matters More Than Ever

    Strength Training Over 50: Why It Matters More Than Ever For many people, strength training feels like something meant for younger bodies. Heavy weights, loud gyms, and workouts that prioritize intensity over intention. Somewhere along the way, adults over 50 were quietly told to slow down, be careful, and stick to lighter movement. That advice is outdated. In many cases, it is flat out wrong. Strength training over 50 is not just safe when done correctly. It is essential. It is one of the most powerful tools we have to slow the physical decline associated with aging and to protect independence long term. At Ageless Fitness, strength training is not about chasing numbers ....

  • What Is Balance and What Actually Dictates It?

    What Is Balance and What Actually Dictates It? Most people think balance is something you either have or you do not. You are “good at balance” or you are not. You can stand on one foot or you cannot. The reality is far more complex. Balance is not a single skill. It is a system. And like any system, it depends on multiple parts working together in real time. When one part weakens, the entire system becomes less reliable. That is why two people can trip in the same way and have completely different outcomes. One catches themselves without thinking. The other falls. At Ageless Fitness, we treat balance as a trainable skill, not a static trait. Understanding what ....

  • Move Better: Key Strategies to Reduce Pain, Stay Strong and Maintain an Active Lifestyle.

    Don’t stop moving! Move...a lot
The most basic key to achieve functional longevity is human movement. We were created to move and we should be moving naturally every day. Natural movements are those things we do in order to accomplish a task or to provide enjoyment. Lifting, bending, stooping, walking, running, carrying, pushing, pulling, jumping, skipping, hopping, squatting, throwing, catching, crawling, climbing, rolling, somersaulting...these are all natural movements that we have been doing since birth. Functional Exercise Exercise is really just a specific type of physical activity but it is one that yields many additional benefits beyond just being physically ....

  • More Reasons Why Strength Training Is Important

    Around age 50, Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle tissue as a natural part of the aging process, sets in. It happens to everybody at a rate of roughly 1 percent per year after the age of 50. It’s not reversible, but there are strategies to reduce the affects of Sarcopenia. The key is to stimulate the skeletal system through strength training. The old saying “if you don’t use it, you lose it” applies here. Aside from preventing muscle loss, there are other benefits. It improves balance -- both when standing still and when moving, thus lowering the risk of falls. It fights depression, as well as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other chronic ailments. ....

  • Prevent Heart Disease through Strength Training

    Prevent Heart Disease through Strength Training

    People say they want to stay “young at heart.” But are they willing to lift weights to do it? They should be research shows. In one survey of 4,000 people, scientistsconcluded that weightliftinghas a greater effect of lowering the risk of heart disease than cardio exercise. The study also supports earlier views that weightlifting is better for the circulatory system because the “oxygen expenditure” is more intense. How much is enough? Surprisingly, as little as one hour per week. "Getting in the right amount of weight training is easier than you think," says Eric L'Italien, a physical therapist with the Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Network. ....
