ARE YOU A FALL RISK?
You may have heard by now that sarcopenia (muscle weakness) puts you at a much greater risk of falling. But did you know that it also contributes to a poor and potentially dangerous walking gait?

Simply put, the shorter the stride you have, the higher risk of falling. The longer the stride, the more stable and confident you are. There’s actually a simple way of measuring your gait to determine if you might be a fall risk or not:

If you take a look at your feet when you are walking normally (not how you think you should walk), you should have at least one foot length (your foot length) between each stride (total of 3 foot lengths altogether). This should be the minimum space between strides but longer is even better.

But just taking bigger steps isn’t always the answer. In some cases in near impossible…without proper training.

At Wise Moves Fitness we have several ways to train and maintain a healthy gait, depending on your current ability, to help you start walking with more confidence in your movement.

If this is something you struggle with, I’d love to help! Joining my Strong Start class can not only help train your gait but train for overall better strength and mobility.

Wish Your Friend/Sister/Daughter/Mother/Aunt Lived Closer??
Now you can workout together - even from different communities!

I offer a live online functional strength training class every Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30am on Zoom. This is a great option for those who live too far out to travel in to town especially on those slick wintery roads - or would just rather workout in the comfort of their own home.
You can even invite a friend/sister/aunt/mom from another community/province to join online to help you stay connected. Having a familiar face in the class can make workouts more fun and engaging! It could also be an option if your friend doesn't have a specialized 50+ strength training program available in their community.
I have clients that join from both the Saskatoon area (my sister🥰) and also Edmonton. Can you think of anyone that might like to join you?

"How do I know if this is for me?"

Maybe you're worried you're too weak.
Maybe you've never lifted weights before.
Maybe you're afraid you won't know what to do - or that everyone else will be ahead of you.

If this is you, you're not alone. Sometimes just getting your foot in the door can feel daunting.
But here's the truth: you don't have to be strong before you start. You get stronger because you start.

❌No judgement
❌No competition
❌No need to "keep up"

Just supportive coaching, manageable challenges, and the opportunity to discover what your body is capable of.

And if you're still not ready to commit, I offer 2 classes completely free of charge with zero obligation.

You never know until you try 😉

EVENING CLASSES AT 5:30PM TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS

An evening class option is great for those with daytime jobs. It can be difficult to get motivated to do a workout after a long shift at work but in reality, your motivation will come from the way you feel after the workout, not before.
Your workday may be busy - but your health deserves a place on the calendar too😊

LOCATED RIGHT HERE IN EDSON, AB!
Ladies over 50 - this is for you!
Wise Moves Fitness is excited to offer something truly unique - a training program for women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond to get strong and stay strong!💪
In return, you also improve bone health, balance, mobility and maintain the independence you value!
You don't need to be an athlete or "in shape" to start. You just need to start!
Here at Wise Moves Fitness we're fighting the good fight against what is known as Sarcopenia (the loss of muscle mass that causes the decline in our abilities to keep living independently). The stronger we are, the better equipped we are to enjoy life longer.
Frailty doesn't happen simply because of age, it's because we stopped moving. At our age it's incredibly important to fight back against this and my job is to help you do that so you can take the guess work out of it. If you have limitations, we work with that, not around it.
Come and join a great group of ladies who have made the decision to fight back! Many have started where you are and are now invested in making sure they remain confident and capable in their aging years.
Message me to get started - spaces are limited so don't miss out!

"Sit up straight!"

We've all heard it - so why doesn't it feel that easy?

Let me break it down...

❎Good posture isn't something you force.
✅ Good posture is something you BUILD.

When the muscles along the back of the body become weakened, your body will fall into a slouched position because it simply doesn't have the strength to maintain good alignment. If you are over 50 (or even younger) and notice that your posture is has fallen over the years, it's not simply a sign of aging, it's a sign that the muscles used for good posture have weakened. You may even experience aches and pains that correlate with poor posture.

But there is good news! At Wise Moves Fitness, I don't just teach people to "sit up straight." I help you build the strength that allows good posture to happen NATURALLY.

✅Strong glutes support your pelvis
✅Strong core muscles stabilize your spine
✅Strong upper back muscles help keep your shoulders comfortably aligned

Once more strength is established in these areas, the easier it is to stand tall, move confidently, and reduce unnecessary aches and pains.

💓Bottom line - Build strength - Improve posture - Move with confidence!

🙋‍♀️If you'd like to know more about how I can help you build more strength, not just for a better looking body but rather for better functionality, please message me. I'd love to hear from you!
