As a Senior Fitness Specialist, I have a comprehensive understanding of how the physical, emotional and social aspects of movement can help the senior adult population increase longevity and boost quality of life by providing specialized strength training for senior adults ranging from healthy active individuals to those with chronic conditions and physical limitations. Specific to Dementia and Alzheimer's, studies have shown that strength training programs can enhance decision-making and conflict resolution abilities by developing executive function and associative memory affected by neurological deterioration.
Using NASM's Optimum Performance Training model, exercise programs are designed to combat the effects of osteoporosis, arthritis and other age-specific conditions while reducing the risks for falls, preserving independence and providing assistance with fitness, health and wellness goals.
If medical or health issues prevent you from accessing a gym or fitness center on a consistent basis, why not give virtual training a try? What could be more convenient than training right in the comfort of your own home. All you need is a Skype account, a computer with a web camera, a laptop with a camera, some inexpensive fitness equipment (dumbbells, medicine balls, stability balls and/or resistance bands), a chair and minimal space.
