Fitness for Seniors, Success Story. Balance and Mobility

Beverly used to have poor balance and mobility

Beverly has improved her balance and strength with exercise

Beverly’s Vintage Fitness Personal Trainer, Lorenzo’s thoughts:

Moving through the loss of a loved one while managing a busy work schedule teaching online led to a rapid depreciation of Beverley’s posture and gait. It was a struggle getting up stairs – suddenly needing both arms on a railing for support.

From January to April we worked together on leg strength, spinal mobility, flexibility and balance. I am happy to report that Beverley now speeds up the stairs. On top of it, she hardly relies on even a single hand; performing weighted exercises on the steps too.

One of the things we do in our initial assessment is measure balance. Astoundingly, standing in tandem (one foot directly in front of the other) improved from 10s to 2+minutes!!! What helps is Beverley is always asking for more challenges – she is very motivated to do better always!

Beverley's Thoughts:

Words cannot praise Lorenzo enough for how he has helped me recover from the sudden loss of my ability to walk and move about. Lorenzo has demonstrated his exceptional knowledge, his thoughtfulness, and his kindness in guiding me through the stages of my recovery and beyond, while carefully planning how I could achieve my goals.
