Tomorrow Never Comes

Chris COTM Pose

When it comes to getting yourself to the gym or practicing healthier eating habits, do you ever just tell yourself you’ll start tomorrow, next Monday, or next month? It’s called procrastination and it’s one of those stories that Chris knows pretty well.

“The body is a wonderful thing.” We couldn’t have said it better than Chris. The body is indeed a wonderful thing, yet it’s all too easy to make excuses and put our wonderful body at the bottom of our priority list.

In the span of six months, we’ve witnessed Chris do such an outstanding job to turn things around for herself. She is committed to a routine and is now focused on her health and physical wellbeing.

Chris’ Challenges

Chris, 49 began experiencing pains that accompanied aging. Her metabolism changed, she hit the highest weight in her life, her knees hurt to walk, her energy level decreased and everything in general just seemed…well, harder. Although Chris was feeling the “blues” when her knees were hurting and her weight increased, her desire to do something about it decreased. Instead of helping herself, she took the familiar route and buried herself in work. And the thing is, Chris is far from lazy. She admits to being a workaholic with a lifelong habit of putting others’ emergencies above her own.

Chris’ Results

Chris started training ForeverStrong in October 2014. Since then, she’s made remarkable progress. Here are the pictures to prove it:

 

Toibero Transformation 2016

 

In regard to her strength training, Chris has made dramatic increases. She says she’s been a jock pretty much all her life so when she started with us she was pressing 20 pounds overhead (this is a very strong start). Now she’s pressing 35 pounds!

Chris, Kelly Jess
Chris and Jess are such an incredible mother-daughter team that we chose both of them as our Clients of The Month for April. Above, Kelly presents Chris and Jess with their $50 SpaFinder gift cards.

She started out strong with presses, but couldn’t squat back in October. We progressed her without weight because of her knee issues, but now more than 6 months later she can squat with 50 pounds. She also started deadlifts at 70 pounds and doubled in weight — she can lift 140 pounds today! Go Chris!

 

In Chris’ Words

“I would never have believed I would ever have full range of motion in my knees ever again. But with strength training, I believe the muscular support to the knee has given me a new lease of life. The weight that has disappeared through common sense, eating and strength work is phenomenal and I feel awesome!… The personalized training plan is simple — not easy — but simple for me to succeed.”

 

Chris’ Advice

“What are you waiting for? Your life is more important than [your work]. Where is the time for YOU in all of this? Stop making excuses and take the first step because once you do, you just may never look back!”

Congratulations, Chris! You are ForeverStrong and we know YOU won’t be looking back! We have seen you grow into such a strong, determined, and admirable woman!

Stop telling yourself that you’ll start tomorrow because tomorrow may never come. We can help you so give us a call at 301-452-5547 to schedule your complimentary fitness consultation.


 

Be Forever Balanced

Christine Client of The MonthSometimes we let stress get the best of us. It may cause us to eat poorly, feel down and make excuses to not be active.

Christine, 50, can attest to this and said that the last few years have been a journey to balance. Christine, who said she is heavier and weaker than when she was younger, had lost a lot of strength and mobility (she used to be a volleyball player). She acknowledges how stress negatively affects her well being, so to handle it better, she finds the time to take walks, practice yoga and train ForeverStrong.

“ForeverStrong was the missing piece to help me feel more balanced. [I’m looking] for a lifestyle I can maintain long-term,” Christine said.

Christine’s Challenges

Christine admitted that it’s definitely a slippery slope when she gets overworked or stressed. Her knee and leg issues certainly don’t help make things easier.

Christine’s Results

Since training with us, Christine’s chiropractor of 13 years said her hip mobility and back have improved. Her overall strength has increased and she says ForeverStrong is a great complement to her bikram yoga practice (she’s more aware of how she engages her core and other muscles as she moves through poses).

We have also been able to modify Christine’s program to accommodate her knee and leg issues without halting any progress. Don’t believe it?Christine's Overhead Press

In just two months, Christine doubled the number of reps she could press overhead with 50 pounds. She also started off doing five step ups and lunges per leg and now she can do 15 of each on both legs. And let’s talk about her deadlifts… Christine hit a personal record of 18 deadlifts using 144 pounds — it’s definitely time to move Christine’s weights up!

So what’s next? We’ll make those deadlifts heavier and we’ll give her more single leg work (adding weight to those lunges) to help rehabilitate her hips and knees.

Christine's Client of the Month Reward
Kelly Scott rewards Christine with a $50 Spafinder giftcard.

In Christine’s Words

“ForeverStrong gives me the best of both personal and group training. The trainers are super to work with and the workouts themselves are very efficient in increasing strength and endurance. The energy of the studio is very uplifting and positive. [Without ForeverStrong], I think I would be facing more issues with my weight and therefore my self image. It has helped me both physically and mentally.”

Christine’s Advice

If Christine could go back in time, she would have told herself sooner the benefits of training ForeverStrong (the ability to regain strength and mobility, the efficient use of time and feeling better overall). If you’re busy like she is, “The gain for the time investment is huge,” Christine said.

Congratulations, Christine! You are ForeverStrong. You are an excellent example of how to be a better balanced individual. You certainly inspire us by the fact that you put your well-being first!

Saved By The Bell

Jessica H Client of the MonthWhen does metabolism become a dirty word? For many of us, it happened after turning 35. It was the change in Jessica’s metabolism when she hit 40 that shocked her the most. “Aging added a whole new obstacle to keeping fit and keeping the weight off,” Jessica said.

Jessica, 47 and a mother of three juggles projects between work and graduate school. She feared joining a gym because she felt she would become bored or discouraged. She was also skeptical about investing in a membership that would eventually become meaningless after the New Year’s Resolution mentality phased out.

But Jessica was so attracted to the idea of kettlebells that she couldn’t resist trying them out at at our studio. For two years now, she has been consistently training and has reaped the benefits.

Challenges

Jessica told us that being older, she has to really work hard at it to see positive results. Fortunately for Jessica, her determination trumps any laziness. “It would have been really hard if I hadn’t been determined to do something about it. Being in shape just by virtue of your age makes you lazy and not appreciative of your overall fitness and health,” she said.

ResultsJessica H Client of The Month Overhead Press

Fifteen months ago Jessica was doing overhead presses with a 10-pound bell — today she’s pressing 20 pounds heavier. Fifteen months ago Jessica was deadlifting 80 pounds — today she’s lifting 64 pounds heavier. Fifteen months ago Jessica didn’t know how to snatch — today she can perform 100 snatches in 5 minutes with a 20-pound bell. That’s some serious power. Her new goal is to perform unassisted pull-ups — we know her results will be impressive.

“I’m fairly sure that I wouldn’t have the strength and stamina for doing all the other things in life that I still need to do. Such as moving my house last summer. I was much more fit and strong — and knew how to properly lift and work with my core. Little things like that have benefits all the time,” Jessica said.

In Jessica’s Words

“ForeverStrong makes you focus on achieving goals incrementally, which is the best and safest way to get there. If it were all given to you overnight — instant gratification — it wouldn’t be as satisfying. I know it was my hard work and effort that resulted in the progression up with weights, reps, new skills, and more.”

“If I didn’t join ForeverStrong, I imagine that I’d still be struggling to maintain my weight solely through cardio and diet. I definitely would not have changed my fat-to-muscle ratio enough to help my metabolism.”

Jessica’s Advice

Jessica H SpaFinder Giftcard
Kelly Scott rewards Jessica with a $50 SpaFinder giftcard.

Jessica knows that strength training is a valuable addition at any stage in life. “ForeverStrong can be life-transforming if given the chance. Don’t be intimidated by it all!” exclaimed Jessica.

Congratulations, Jessica! You are ForeverStrong. You are wise, determined and inspiring. We know the hard work you put into the studio will benefit you for a lifetime.

If you’re looking to add strength training to your routine, but are making the usual excuses of being too busy or too tired…Jessica has been through the same phase. But she realized what she needed to do to make a change in her life and so should you. You heard it from Jessica — strength training is valuable at any stage in life. You can let us help you by calling 301-452-5547 to schedule your complimentary fitness consultation.

 

 


 

Strength Training for Stronger Bones

Patti Sullivan Client of The Month“I was always healthy. I did everything you’re supposed to do for your bone health.” But the one component that Patti’s workout routine lacked was strength training. Patti, 51, told us that six years ago she was diagnosed with osteopenia. She had repeated low bone density scans, but “now after only one and a half years, the power of the ForeverStrong program has reversed that!” In addition to her already healthy and active lifestyle, it was the consistent and proper strength training that helped Patti get her DEXA scans back to normal.

Patti’s Challenges

“At first I didn’t know how to approach the ForeverStrong program, and I found it intimidating. I had a fear of failure, not liking it, not being good at it and most importantly, not connecting with the people,” Patti admitted. She had been looking for a place to feel comfortable and safe while working out and said, “it took a while, but I found that place in Fulton at ForeverStrong Health & Fitness.”

 “I feel very safe physically and emotionally here at the ForeverStrong studio. There is no negativity here — any negativity you try to bring to the studio will be squashed within five feet from the door! It is a great environment. The encouragement I’ve received to progress, and to be more confident in doing more than I ever thought I could is incredible,” said Patti.

Kelly Scott, owner and creator of the ForeverStrong Personalized Fitness System, has witnessed Patti’s remarkable growth over the years, “Patti now has all the confidence in the world.”

Patti’s Motivation

We asked Patti to choose a favorite part of her workouts…Her answer? “The people!”

“The clients are awesome and the trainers have become very dear friends of mine. I enjoy doing my workouts, but I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t like the people,” Patti explained. “The people make you want to come. You can swing weights anywhere but when you do it with great people you are going to work a lot harder!” Little does Patti know, her motivation and high spirits are what inspires everyone else in our studio. “Patti is like the energizer bunny,” Kelly claimed.

Patti’s Goals          Patti Sullivan Sullivan Swing

“The goals here are limitless. For every goal you reach there is something you can take beyond it.” Upon starting her training, Patti set a goal to become strong enough to pass the fitness standards required to become a ForeverStrong Kettlebell Instructor. Patti passed with flying colors by completing 100 snatches in five minutes with a 25-pound kettlebell! Patti also earned her HardStyle Kettlebell Instructor Certification (HKC).

Currently, Patti has a physical goal to do multiple chin-ups in a row. Another goal for Patti, set by Kelly, is to have Patti eventually push a 35-pound kettlebell over her head! Kelly has been constantly impressed with Patti’s positive attitude, improving health and her commitment that she is confident Patti will achieve these goals.

Commitment and dedication doesn’t stop at strength training. Patti said, “You can work as hard as you want, but if you don’t take care of your body with nutrition, then you will not get the long lasting effects of your training. I am embracing the whole body wellness concept even more now since the ForeverStrong program focuses on both the strength and nutrition components.”

“I really should drink more water though,” Patti laughed. Our instructors will be sure to help Patti with that!

Patti’s Results

As a certified ForeverStrong and HKC instructor, Patti is certainly a solid demonstration of hard work and strength.

“My quality of life has improved significantly,” said Patti. Reversed osteopenia, stronger bones, stronger muscles, better eating habits and continuous weight increases in her workouts — Patti breeds the success of a ForeverStrong student.

Patti's Client of The Month Award
Owner and Creator of the ForeverStrong Personalized Fitness System, Kelly Scott, rewards Patti Sullivan with a gift certificate to Fulton Station Jewelers.

Patti’s Words

“I truly believe I would still have osteopenia because as long as I looked prior to finding the ForeverStrong program, I could not find a program for strength training that worked for me. This program has added the strength component to my health that I lacked. I have also learned about nutrition on another level and incorporate that in my daily life.”

Congratulations Patti, you are ForeverStrong! We can’t wait until you’re doing 10 chin-ups and pressing MORE than 35 pounds overhead.

If you’re like Patti, the ForeverStrong program may just be for you. Find out today by scheduling a complimentary fitness consultation!

Combating Osteopenia and Osteoporosis

Healthy Bone vs. Unhealthy Bone
Healthy Bone vs. Bone Loss

“Five years ago, I was diagnosed with osteopenia,” Allison* (alias) confides.  “I was shocked.”  Allison was so shocked, in fact, that she refused to believe the results of her DEXA scan, chocking the low numbers up to lab error.  

But, two years later, the outcome of a second DEXA scan matched the first.  “I had to accept the results as true,” Allison admits.  However, Allison was still flummoxed over the diagnosis as three more years of bone scans continued to show decreasing bone density.  “My vitamin D levels were consistently in the normal range, and I exercised routinely.”

Looking for a solution that didn’t involve pharmaceuticals, Allison decided to address the one element missing from her fitness regimen.  “The one component my workout lacked was strength training.   I just didn’t know how to approach it, and I found it intimidating.”

Allison isn’t alone.  A recent survey by the Center for Disease Control found that while fifty-two percent of Americans get the recommended level of aerobic exercise (running, walking, swimming, biking, etc.), only about one in five are strength training regularly.  And, while aerobic exercise may be great for improving cardiovascular health, it does little to reverse bone density loss as we age.

Strength training, however, increases bone density and can reverse the effects of osteopenia and even osteoporosis, a fact Allison happily discovered when she joined the ForeverStrong program in Fulton, MD. “After only a year and a half of working out at ForeverStrong, my last DEXA scan came back normal.”

Allison’s results aren’t unique. Study after study shows that strength training can prevent and even reverse bone density loss. So, why are so few Americans strength training on a regular basis, especially given the fact that one in two women and one in five men over the age of fifty qualify for a diagnosis of osteopenia?  Is it a lack of knowledge about osteopenia?  Unaware of the benefits of strength training?  Or, confusion over how to manage, or prevent, bone density loss?

Likely, it’s an imperfect triad of all three, and this article seeks to clear up some of the confusion and misnomers about osteopenia and osteoporosis as well as show how a regular strength training routine can help you combat the bone loss that comes with aging.

Hunched back
Osteoporosis can greatly affect one’s posture.

Osteopenia Fact:  “Osteopenia is not osteoporosis.”

But, osteopenia is a precursor to osteoporosis.  Just like osteoporosis, osteopenia means your bone density is less than what it should be though the bone loss is not as severe as in a case of osteoporosis.

There are no outward symptoms of osteopenia, and like Allison, many people are shocked by their first bone density scans.  But, osteopenia isn’t a disease; it’s a warning sign.  Osteopenia provides an opportunity to reevaluate your lifestyle and help you prevent a full-blown case of osteoporosis.

Doctors recommend replacing soft drinks with green tea, consuming adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D, and strength training.  Two to three strength training sessions per week will do it.  Dr. Christiane Northrup recommends working with a certified instructor to make sure you’re strength training safely and with proper form.

Allison did, and it worked wonders for her.

Osteopenia Fiction:  “Medication is the best way to combat bone density loss.”

Current osteopenia and osteoporosis medications, like Fosamax, don’t exactly increase bone density, at least not in the way you’d expect. Your body produces two types of bone cells which work together to keep your skeleton healthy.  Osteoclasts remove worn or damaged bone while osteoblasts create new bone to take the damaged bone’s place.

As we age, osteoclasts start working overtime, chomping up old bone faster than our osteoblasts can replace it.  But, Fosamax and other bone density meds, don’t increase osteoblast production.   Instead, these medications inhibit osteoclast activity.  So, your bone density may technically increase, but you’re walking around on worn and damaged bone, and you’re still at a high risk for fracture.

Strength training, on the other hand, dampens osteoclast activity while boosting osteoblast productivity, especially when paired with a diet high in calcium and vitamin D.    Dr. Miriam Nelson of Tufts University has conducted numerous studies that show strength training can reverse bone loss.  The participants in Dr. Nelson’s studies, aged 50-70, improved their strength, lost body fat, and increased their bone density.

“It’s never too late to start exercising,” Dr. Nelson recommends.  “Even in your nineties, the benefits of strength training are there.  It’s quite remarkable.”

Osteopenia Fact:   “Having a low body weight and lithe frame puts you at a higher risk for osteopenia and osteoporosis.”

So does being female, having fair skin, red or blond hair, and blue eyes.  Genetically, the fair complected have less collagen in their bones.  And, those with less body fat or lighter frames have less bone to lose.

Note to Elle Macpherson and Heidi Klum: it’s time to hit the gym.

Likewise, all you marathon fanatics and Ironmen triathletes.  Don’t start thinking that the ruthless endurance routine you started in your twenties or thirties is going to keep you safe from bone loss in your fifties and sixties.  Quite the opposite, in fact.  All the pounding your legs took from overtraining  likely created multiple minor stress fractures and impaired your bone’s ability to absorb the minerals it needs to repair itself.

Remember all those strength training days you skipped, so you could get in an extra swim, ride, or run?  Turns out they were important after all.  But, no worries.  Starting a strength program now can get you back on track.  And, if preventing bone loss is not enough to get you in the gym, strength training can also lower your marathon and triathlon times.

I have your attention now, don’t I?

Osteopenia Fiction:  “Bone density loss only affects women.”

Man more likely to break a bone
Men over the age of fifty are more likely to break a bone because of osteoporosis than to be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Not so fast, guys….Twenty percent of new osteopenia diagnoses are men, and one in four men over the age of fifty will break a bone due to osteoporosis.   In fact, men over the age of fifty are more likely to break a bone because of osteoporosis than to be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Yes, it’s true that estrogen loss after menopause leads to bone loss in women.  Estrogen acts as a protective factor against overstimulated osteoclasts.  But, guess what!  Testosterone performs the same function in men, and just as estrogen levels decline with age in women, testosterone levels drop for aging men.

Lucky for men, strength training provides the same bone loss reversal benefits as it does for women.  A University of Arizona study in 2009 found that men diagnosed with osteopenia who participated in a high-intensity resistance training program slowed their bone loss or, in many cases, increased their bone mineral density.

Osteopenia Fact:  “A sedentary lifestyle puts you at a higher risk for bone loss.”

Admit it.  As soon as I called out Elle Macpherson and Heidi Klum, you thought you were in the clear.  But, if you spend the majority of your day sitting (and who doesn’t in this office-driven economy of ours), your bones are missing out on the extra workout they get from just being on your feet.

Just standing and walking around provides bones with a good weight-bearing exercise that stimulates osteoblast activity.  But, if your day is anything like the average American’s, you spend an hour or so sitting in traffic and eight or so hours sitting at your desk before you spend a few hours sitting in front of the television to wind down and seven hours  completely horizontal while you sleep.  All-in-all, you’re spending less than four hours on your feet per day which is a recipe for osteopenia and osteoporosis later in life.

If you lead a sedentary lifestyle, it’s even more important that you incorporate strength training into your weekly routine.  In fact, a study performed by Polaris Healthcare attributed the increase in men being diagnosed with osteoporosis with too much sitting and too little exercise.

Osteopenia Fiction:  “Osteopenia is something only the elderly need to worry about.”

When it comes to bone density loss, prevention is the name of the game, and the healthier your bones are in your twenties, thirties, and forties, the healthier they’ll be in your fifties, sixties, and beyond.   In fact, for best preventative results against bone loss, many physicians recommend beginning strength training during adolescence.  Think of your bones like a retirement account.  The earlier you start contributing, the bigger the payout in the end.

But, like Dr. Nelson said, it’s never too late to strength training.  And, strength training is one of the most beneficial measures you can take to help prevent bone loss.  Women, men, young, old, models, runners, triathletes, blonds, thin, sedentary:  nobody is immune from osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Incorporating strength training now can help you prevent osteoporosis and reverse bone loss.  “For five years I had repeated low bone density scans, and after only one and a half years, that has been reversed,” says a happy Allison.  “The power of the program!”

Busy Professional Gets More Done in Less Time

Ted E “I was not the thinnest kid growing up,” Ted admits, “but at some point in my late twenties, I managed to get into better shape.  Maintaining and improving on that has been both a goal and a challenge as I have gotten older.”  Juggling a hectic daily schedule left Ted with little time for working out.  “The biggest challenge is time,” Ted admits.  “I have a family and a job, and to do them right, both require a lot of it.  So as you get older, you find that it’s very easy to justify sitting around.”

But, when Ted’s blood pressure and weight started creeping up, he decided to take action.  Ted initially approached ForeverStrong during a promotional deal.  Impressed with the ForeverStrong approach, Ted signed on, and soon, it was the ForeverStrong team who was impressed with Ted.

“He has a great personality that makes him a dream to train,” says Kelly Scott.  Ted’s instructors were amazed with Ted’s commitment to the ForeverStrong program.  “Despite traveling a lot for work, Ted manages to keep a consistent schedule.”  Ted also refused to let a shoulder injury derail him.  “The injury took him out for several months,” Kelly recalls, “but, when he was ready to train again, Ted came right back.”

And, unsurprisingly, Ted’s fitness approach was more of the same:  dedication, consistency, and an exceptional attitude, earning him the title of Client of the Month at our Fulton Studio.

Ted’s Challenges

Constantly crunched for time, Ted needed a fitness program that accommodated his work and family commitments.  “I needed something that would motivate me back into a regular workout routine but still provide some scheduling flexibility if I had to work late or travel.”

Ted also recognized the importance of having a fitness program that was efficient yet could provide him with the health results he wanted.  “Previously, I could go the gym for an hour but didn’t have a really good plan for what I wanted to accomplish that day.  I also wasn’t good at recording my progress as I went along, so it was hard to measure improvement.”

Ted’s instructors designed a program that could accommodate his schedule and provide him with the motivation and feedback he wanted.  For Ted, that meant a mix of individual strength sessions as well as group workouts.  “I like that the program has both an individual and a group component,” Ted says.  “The high intensity finisher is great to do with the group because it keeps you going – even when it would be easier to stop and rest!”

Ted appreciates that his individual ForeverStrong program is designed just for him.  “The strength program is specific to me, and I can measure my progress from week to week.”  Ted also credits his ForeverStrong success to working one-on-one with a instructor.  “Having a knowledgeable instructor right there to provide guidance, feedback, and keep me motivated is a huge part of what makes the program work for me.”

Ted’s Results

Ted’s main fitness goals were to improve his strength and increase his metabolism, and we’re happy to announce that Ted reached both of his goals.

Ted Evans Facebook 6-25-14Ted completed our Whole30 program, a thirty day period of clean eating that eliminates grains, dairy, sugar, and legumes in an effort to purge toxins from the body and reduce inflammation caused by over-processed foods.  Ted lost a total of 10.5 inches — he dropped two pant sizes! He also increased his metabolism and decreased his blood pressure.  “Blood pressure is well within the normal range,” Ted reports.

Ted also improved his strength.  Ted added 25 pounds to his overhead press, 75 pounds to his deadlift and 48 pounds to his squat.

But, greater strength and a higher metabolism aren’t the only benefits Ted experienced.  “Not surprisingly, I feel stronger overall.  Just thinking about the weights I use now versus when I started eighteen months ago, there is a huge difference.  But, I’ve seen results in several other ways that I didn’t expect.”

“I dislocated my shoulder in December,” Ted says.  “After I was allowed to return to exercise, [the program] has been extremely helpful in regaining my strength and range of motion on that side.  I’m pretty much back to one hundred percent.”  Ted also appreciates that his instructors taught him how to lift correctly.  “I use that knowledge outside of the gym to avoid injury.”

Ted’s endurance has also improved.  “I have a son in Boy Scouts, so I have done a fair amount of hiking over the last few years. It’s a much more enjoyable experience now than when I wasn’t in shape for it. Instead of working to just keep up, the typical pace (which is not slow) is now very comfortable, and I can focus on the people I’m with and not on how much my calves are burning.”

In Ted’s Words

“I think it’s safe to say I previously never really got into a great routine. I would do something for a couple of months, but sticking with it was always hard, so I would end up with a yo-yo effect.

The ForeverStrong program provides structure, feedback, individual goals, and enough variety to keep me from getting bored. Now I come work out because I want to not because I should!”

Ted’s Advice

“The ForeverStrong program isn’t free, and for many, it may be more than they were intending to spend on a monthly workout program. But, for me, it is an investment. I know that when I look at it from a time/money/value perspective, it is extremely positive. I get done in an hour, two or three days a week what some people do in five days a week at the gym in an hour and a half. I get nine sessions per month and use them all. How many people pay for a regular gym membership and only go a few times a month? Believe me, I have been one of those people!  Plus, most people going to a regular gym don’t get the personal attention on a daily basis that we do here.

You just have to make time to workout – and make it (almost) non-negotiable.”

Ted’s personality and commitment to his training keeps the energy level high at ForeverStrong. His new personal goal is to become strong enough to meet the vigorous physical fitness standards it takes to become certified Kettlebell Instructor. The ForeverStrong instructors always look forward to seeing Ted at the studio and are super excited to help him achieve this goal. Please join us in us a round of applause for Ted, our amazing Client of the Month.

Women Over 55 are Raving About ForeverStrong™

Exercise can be daunting at any age, but for those 50+, it can become even more physically challenging with each ensuing decade.picture of client doing pullup

Even if you’ve been an exercise maven all your life, age can take a toll on the body and you may eventually find your favorite fitness activity become painful or even impossible to maintain. Still, as the aches and pains set-in, it’s important to stay physically active.

If you’ve never exercised routinely in the past, now is the time to start. Exercise has been shown to improve health and reverse some of the symptoms of aging—and who doesn’t want that.

But, it’s not easy to find a fitness plan that doesn’t involve high impact, strenuous activities that tend to jar or stress aging joints.

Several women in Howard County say they have found the perfect solution to getting and staying fit. It’s the ForeverStrong™ Fitness System. It’s safe, doable and achieving some amazing results for those training in their 50s, 60s and 70s.

Marsha, 72, who never exercised regularly before she started the ForeverStrong™ system, boasts that trips to her chiropractor are now monthly, instead of weekly. She lost 13 pounds and lowered her blood pressure. “I can squat in the bathtub again and not feel pain,” Marsha said.

That’s because ForeverStrong™ is purposefully designed to help improve health problems that women face as they age, such as back pain, weak knees, limited range of motion in joints, imbalance, low energy, abdominal fat, high blood pressure, loss in bone mass, and declining strength and coordination.

Sara, age 61, who took yoga, Pilates and cardio classes over the years, never noticed any improvement in her fitness. But she did with ForeverStrong™. “My core is stronger, my balance is very improved and my spine is much more flexible. That makes it wonderful for daily living.”

ForeverStrong™ works because it is not a cookie cutter fitness solution, according to its creator, Kelly Scott. “Each client gets individual, progressive strength training with a high intensity interval routine, which we continuously adapt as strength increases.”

The personalized approach was exactly what Patricia, age 67, was looking for. “At my age, I wanted a fitness program designed specifically for me to help me gain strength and get better muscle tone. With ForeverStrong™, my legs and arms are stronger, my body is better toned and I lost weight–which made my doctor happy.”

Another benefit when training with ForeverStrong™ is that it’s a more efficient workout that can be done in less time. Most people see results with only two-three one hour sessions per week.

“It’s a great way to get a whole body workout in a relatively short period of time and it’s never boring,” exclaims Renee, age 56.

Dana, age 66, said when she started the program she was out of shape and overweight. Now, as a result of the ForeverStrong™ system, she has more energy, more flexibility and lost weight. Dana said, “Once you start, you’ll love it.”

Eleanor, age 79, received an excellent report from her doctor at her last physical check-up and she attributes it to being with the program for 3 ½ years. She lends some advice to others, “It’s never too late for those over 55 to get with it.”

The ForeverStrong™ Fitness System is available at two Maryland locations: Fulton & Ellicott City.  All sessions are by appointment only, so call 301-42-5547 to schedule your complimentary fitness consultation. Train ForeverStrong and learn more about yourself and your physical fitness capability!

 

Strong at Sixty: Forever Life Changed

Two years ago, Lorri’s lower back was so bad that just turning at the waist caused her excruciating pain. Now, eighteen months after joining the ForeverStrong™ program, Lori raves, “Blood pressure down. Weight down. Back pain GONE! Strong at sixty…I’ve never felt so good.”

The ForeverStrong™ team is proud to announce Lorri as their July client of the month. Lorri, a piano teacher, signed up in January 2013.

Kelly Scott recalls that when Lorri started working out,

“Her back was so weak that almost every move she made, it sounded like something was breaking.  Although I didn’t know then the extent that she suffered from daily back pain,  I did know if she stuck with our program, we could help her.”

Lorri not only stuck with the program, she excelled at it. Following her instructors’ training, Lorri learned how to use the kettlebells to improve her strength and fitness, despite skeptics’ criticism.

“The comments I sometimes hear – that kettlebells are dangerous for women over the age of 50 – make me want to shout that kettlebells without proper training are dangerous for everybody. You can enroll at ForeverStrong with full confidence that you will learn proper form and technique first.”

Lorri began just by learning the movements minus the weights. As her strength and confidence increased, Lorri started training with weight. Now, Lorri is lifting 97 pounds up to nine times per set.

Lorri’s Motivation

Lorri admits that before joining the ForeverStrong™ Program, “My own exercise routine – walking several times a week – just wasn’t happening.” But the results of a DEXA scan showed that Lorri was losing bone mass. Knowing that exercise in general, and strength training in particular, was critical for healthy aging, Lorri started considering kettlebells as a strength training option.

“I saw before-and-after pictures of ForeverStrong’ clients who looked just like me,” Lorri says. “Their success stories were inspiring.”

Lorri’s Fitness Program

Lorri’s program was focused on increasing her strength. The ForeverStrong™ program recognizes that strength is a skill, so we started Lorri with a basic program that increased in intensity as Lorri mastered basic lifts.

“What I like best is that the instructors are my partners in taking care of myself. They have created a ForeverStrong™ program just for me,” Lorri explains. “They know me, and they pay attention to my successes and my challenges.”

Lorri Yawney swing NO BACKGROUNDAs Lorri’s strength increased, so did Lorri’s skill set. From just learning the movements, Lorri now routinely performs kettlebell high pulls, inverted rows on the TRX heavy deadlifts, kettlebell military presses, goblet squats, and loaded carries – all with a respectable weight.

Lorri trains consistently, working out twice per week for an hour. Lorri’s instructors vary her workouts with low and medium rep days to keep Lorri improving without overtraining. Her workouts end with 15 minutes of metabolic conditioning. This helps boost Lorri’s metabolism, burn fat, build cardiovascular endurance, and keep her heart and lungs strong.

Having now achieved a high level of conditioning, Lorri will start decreasing her rest time between sets. Lorri thrives at setting and meeting goals, so to challenge Lorri, her instructors have designed a more advanced workout for her with a test at the end. Her trainers expect that Lorri will improve her reps by 20%-30%.

“It makes a big difference to have someone besides me interested in improving my health and able to get me stronger,” Lorri says of the ForeverStrong™ staff. “Because the program allows them to work individually with every client at every workout, they were able to help me heal from a shoulder problem. They forced me to be patient, and they graded the workouts carefully, so the problem is now gone.”

Lorri’s Results

When asked about her results, Lorri happily replied,

“There are so many positive results, I’ll have to make a list!” Lorri notes that her energy level has increased. “I can climb the stairs, lift cases of water bottles, and do all the daily activities that used to leave me tired and winded.”

Lorri has dropped 6 pounds of body fat. Her waist is 4 inches smaller, and she’s lost 2.5 inches from her thighs. Lorri also reports that she’s down two dress sizes.

But, Lorri is most pleased with the improvement in her medical tests.

“My doctor could not believe I was not taking any medication for any of these conditions,” Lorri says of her decreased blood pressure and pain level. “He said I was obviously taking good care of my health. I will have another DEXA scan this summer, and I look forward to seeing the results.”

 

Lorri’s Words

“I used to think that I could achieve better health through cardio programs alone. Not true. Cardio exercises never made me stronger. Now I know that the strength training I’m doing with the excellent staff at ForeverStrong is what is making the difference in my health and in my outlook.”

Lorri happily accepting her client of the month award that she's looking forward to using at Today's Image Salon.

Lorri’s Advice

“Get off the fence and come join us! No matter what shape you are in or medical problems you have. I was so worried that my lower back problems would not allow me to do the kettlebells. It simply was not true. In fact, had I not begun the program, I’m virtually certain the back pain would still be a problem for me.”

The ForeverStrong™ team in Fulton, MD is amazed by Lorri’s success and feels honored to have shared in her transformation. Please join us in celebrating Lorri’s accomplishments.Lorri Yawney Client of The Month

Slimmer Now: 90 days of ForeverStrong™

 Special report reveals client’s training secrets.

 

“I never really exercised before in my life.”

Monica recalls, as she reflects on her experience with the ForeverStrong™ Program.

“Now, I feel stronger – I am stronger.  I’ve lost almost 18 pounds, and I’m just a happier person in general.”

 

Please join our ForeverStrong™ Team in congratulating Monica, our June client of the month.  Monica’s story demonstrates that success happens with a strong commitment to a lifestyle change.  Monica was never without her smile and always arrived for workouts eager to learn.  While persistence and discipline defined Monica’s attitude, excuses were never a part of her repertoire.  She constantly adhered to the advice of her trainers and openly communicated with her coaches to maximize her training.  Monica’s positive attitude and dedication were assets to the ForeverStrong™ community and made her an absolute joy to work with.

Monica’s Goals

Monica decided to take action

“when I got to the point in my weight that I said enough is enough.  I met with Kelly Scott for a fitness consultation.”

Working together, Monica and Kelly outlined fitness goals that could be used to assess and motivate Monica’s progress.  Monica decided she wanted to:

  • Lose 8% body fat.  Accomplishing this goal would move Monica out of the health risk category.
  • Drop inches of fat.  Monica wanted to be able to fit into her old, smaller-sized clothes.
  • Increase her strength, endurance, and energy level.

Monica’s Fitness Program

“After carefully contemplating taking this step,” Monica says of her consultation with Kelly, “I was convinced to join the ForeverStrong™ Personal Training Program.”  Monica committed to a twelve week program with three ForeverStrong™ Progressive Strength Training sessions each week.  Each strength session included high intensity interval training finishers. On non-strength training days, Monica walked 30-45 minutes to promote recovery and manage stress.

Monica began her program with two private skill building sessions.  These helped Monica learn to lift kettlebells safely and with proper form.  Monica completed six additional skill development sessions during her twelve week program.  During these progressive sessions, Monica learned more advanced skills that allowed her ForeverStrong™ team to continually tailor Monica’s training to her improving fitness level.

All aspects of the program were designed to meet Monica’s individual needs and goals. Monica’s training provided her with the best strength conditioning workout in the shortest period of time without compromising her safety or form.  Monica was always eager to work out a little bit harder or a little bit more.  In fact, Monica’s coaches often found they had to hold her back!  To challenge Monica, her coaches adapted interval training finishers to Monica’s current fitness level.  This let Monica experience the fat-burning benefits of high-intensity interval training without the threat of overtraining, a common barrier to fat loss.  The goal of the workouts was to help Monica develop total body strength, a key to building a body that burns fat, even when at rest.

By focusing on strength improvement, Monica boosted her metabolism and developed the lean, fat-burning muscle tissue she wanted.

Monica’s Healthy Habits Coaching Program

The ForeverStrong™ program recognizes that an important factor in maintaining a healthy lifestyle is developing a healthy relationship with food.  Monica worked closely with Cara, the team’s Health Habits coach, to revamp her eating habits.  Monica kept a food diary and reviewed her entries with Cara twice a week.  While Monica never thought she’d be able to give up white rice, she soon found herself making healthier food choices.  Monica started cooking nutritious and flavorful meals for herself and her family.  She actively sought out new, healthy food options that she shared with fellow ForeverStrong participants.

“I like the little community that we have,” an always-enthusiastic Monica says.

“It’s filled with positive people giving you advice and technique tips and sharing recipes. It’s just a good positive place to be a part of.”

Cauliflower fried rice is now a favorite of Monica and her family, and Monica admits that she no longer has a desire for its bland, white rice substitute.

Monica’s Results

Monica’s commitment to her training program and new, healthy regimen earned her the results she desired.

Most Notable Strength Improvements:

All images © 2014 Fulton Kettlebells

  • 84% increase in rep max test on clean and press
  • 114% increase in goblet squat rep max
  • 70% increase in rep max on deadlift

Monica decreased her body fat by 7.2%, lost 6 inches from her abdomen, and charted an 18 pound weight loss. 

But, Monica did miss achieving one goal.

Though she wanted to fit into her old clothes, those old clothes are now too big.

Monica had to buy new clothes in a smaller size.

In Monica’s Words

“I would encourage anyone who is on the fence about joining the ForeverStrong™ program to, Sign up today! It’s worth it.”

All of us on the ForeverStrong™ team at Fulton Kettlebells are so proud of Monica’s achievements and inspired by her transformation. We look forward to updates about Monica’s continued success as she uses the skills and habits she developed during the ForeverStrong™ program.

Congratulations, Monica! You are ForeverStrong™!

Monica exceeded her own expectations.  It’s time for you to exceed yours.  Take advantage of our complimentary ForeverStrong™ fitness consultation. Monica achieved her fitness goals, and you can achieve yours.

New Personal Training System Goes Into Full Swing in Fulton

Fulton Kettlebells recently debuted its new strength training and fitness program: ForeverStrong Personalized Fitness System at its Fulton, MD studio.

foreverstrong personal training kettlebell program

The new system features an hour-long, shared personal training session that incorporates a progressive strength workout with a high intensity interval routine. Clients are reporting that the experience has been life-changing.

Monica, one of the first participants to go through the program, lost 12 pounds in 2 months and several inches off her waist. Afterward she exclaimed,

“I feel healthy. I feel strong. I feel confident. I feel empowered.”

Central to the unique personal training program is the versatile and dynamic kettlebell. While it may look like a simple iron ball with a handle, when swung properly, the kettlebell becomes a powerful weight training tool, proven to torch fat and build muscle and simultaneously, improve cardiovascular strength and endurance.

Fulton Kettlebell trainer, Kelly Scott, says that the new innovative exercise sessions include drills specifically designed to develop lean, metabolically active muscle, strengthen and tone core muscle, and burn fat in the shortest amount of time.

“Because we work in small groups, our clients get one-on-one, custom coaching to train safely and effectively. A real bonus to the training is the high-energy, high intensity finishers that not only help improve heart and lung health, accelerate weight and fat loss, but also are a lot of fun,” said Scott.

Scott holds one of the highest accreditations in kettlebell training: the SFG Kettlebell Instructor Certificate Level II.

“As a personal trainer over the past 9 years, I wanted to create a systematic approach for people of all fitness levels to work smarter and safely sculpt their body. ForeverStrong is that system,” Scott adds.
