Helen just turned 80 and keeps going strong!!! 💃🏻🏋🏽♀️
Undoubtedly, she’s not only one of my dearest clients ever but also someone I’m proud to call my friend. You can imagine how much wisdom and life advice I’ve received between sets over the last 22 year.
Yes, that’s right. I’ve been a proud member of Team Helen since 2003! I started witnessing her fitness journey when she turned 58 (which is my current age).
Dunno about you guys (probably I do), but Helen has inspired me to stay healthy and thriving so that I can have as much vitality, inner and outer strength, a positive attitude, and a lovely posture by the time I turn 80 (only 22 years from now).
Ah, yeah, there’s also her training! Every session is truly delightful, compelling, and rewarding. Helen is not only extremely coachable but also open to being exposed to different approaches for her strength and conditioning: From therapy strategies post-hip replacement and lumbar spine surgery to Pilates, mobility, and resistance training. There’s heaps of weight-bearing and strengthening work!
Her program includes carryover movements for her active lifestyle and sport of choice. Let’s not forget: Helen plays tennis regularly.
Nobody I know has become physically stronger, moved better and able to lift heavy stuff from the floor just by only walking or picking up leaves in the garden. Just in case you’re wondering, Helen’s resistance training includes an essential collateral benefit: Her cardio endurance. Not the other way around.
Read that again.
The 4 movements showcased in this video are a glimpse into her fitness preparation, recorded last week 🎥:
1️⃣ Single Leg Box Squats
2️⃣ Single Arm Standing Press
3️⃣ Hinge Sit-ups on the BOSU dome
4️⃣ Single Leg Deadlifts
Thanks to dear and inspiring Helen for showing us how it’s done . The ultimate stronger sister 🩷
As usual, I’m happy to elaborate and answer any questions about featured moves. And, needless to say, don’t forget to leave your belated wishes for Helen on her 80th 🎂🩵
