I help Adults 50+ get stronger, leaner, more flexible and improve their balance so they can stay active and keep doing the things they love.
I offer personal training for adults, especially women, in-person and via Zoom. I help you get fit and strong so you can stay active, do the things you love and live life to the fullest! I focus on strength, cardio, flexibility and balance training so you become strong and stable from the inside out. I've been helping people across the U.S. become the best version of themselves that they can be since 2015.
Trying out my new InBody FRA (Fall Risk Assessment) device. Here's two of the eight video games that help you improve your balance. The first one challenges your side-to-side stability. The second game challenges your forward-to-backward stability! They're harder than they may appear!

I'm excited about our new InBody FRA "Fall Risk Assessment" device. It'll assess our clients current level of balance in three areas, and then features 8 drills to improve their balance! It's even been reviewed by the National Institutes of Health!
Setting up our new InBody FRA510S "Fall Risk Assessment" device at Silverstrong Fitness! It measures your fall risk using 8 different tests, then leads you through 8 different video games using your body as the game controller (like a WII) to improve your balance in each of the areas that were tested!

Are you losing FAT...or MUSCLE?
The scale can't tell you what you're losing. But my InBody can!
When seniors diet without strength training and without enough protein, they often lose valuable muscle along with body fat. These first image shows someone in the "normal" weight range, but a closer look shows they have too much body fat and not enough muscle (SMM), a state known as "skinny-fat" or "sarcopenic obese." The three lines on the graph are shaped like the letter "C." We want them to look like the letter "D," with the SMM line longer than the Body Fat Mass line. WHY?
Muscle is essential for:
*Strength
*Balance
*Preventing falls
*Staying independent
The InBody Muscle-Fat Analysis shows whether you have, or are losing, the right kind of weight.
My goal isn't simply to help clients lose pounds.
It's to help them lose fat while maintaining—or even building—muscle.
Because the strongest seniors usually enjoy the highest quality of life.
Strong muscles. Better balance. More independence.
DM me for more information on how to keep or build muscle while trying to lose body fat!

I re-measured myself on our new InBody body composition assessment "device." My weight went down 2+ pounds, but my score dropped from 85 to 84, because I lost slightly more muscle than body fat! It's important to keep muscle mass while losing body fat, but I haven't been exercising much since Donna's back surgery.
