Strength Training For Life
Muscle strength declines by about 1-2% per year after age 30, accelerating to 3-5% per year after age 60.
Muscle speed declines by about 1-2% per year after age 30, accelerating to 2-4% per year after age 50.
Muscle power declines by about 3-4% per year after age 40, due to the combined effect of strength and speed loss.
Muscle power = Strength X Speed, which is what prevents us from falling.
How Personal
Training Can Help
01
Personalized Strength Training Programs
Strength training is vital for combating the 1-2% annual muscle strength loss after age 30, which accelerates to 3-5% per year after 60. My personalized strength training programs are designed to counteract these declines by incorporating progressive resistance exercises tailored to each client’s needs and fitness levels, ensuring steady gains in muscle strength and functionality.
03
Power Training for Everyday Life
Muscle power equals strength multiplied by speed. Because this type of movement combines both strength and speed, it declines at an even quicker rate, specifically by around 3-4% per year after age 40. And while you may not be ready to even jump yet, we will pave a clear road to where you can. This approach not only boosts functional fitness but also enhances your ability to perform everyday tasks with ease.
05
Cardiovascular Conditioning
Strength training improves cardiovascular conditioning and overall health. In fact, properly training our fast twitch muscle fibers (i.e. strength training) is an essential part to a complete cardio program. Inversely, cardiovascular health is essential for maintaining overall fitness and supporting muscle function.
02
Enhancing Muscle Speed
With muscle speed decreasing by 1-2% annually starting in the third decade of life, it’s crucial to integrate speed-specific training. Why? Because this is a big part of how you stop yourself from falling. I can incorporate modified-velocity movements so your body can safely adapt and sustainably improve your muscle speed, helping you stay agile and responsive in daily activities and reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
04
Corrective Exercise For Muscle Imbalances
Corrective exercises are designed to address muscle imbalances and improve overall movement patterns. My approach to corrective exercise training focuses on enhancing joint stability and muscle coordination, which are essential for preventing injuries, improving performance and building a strong base for larger movements. These exercises can be integrated into your routine to ensure a balanced and effective approach to fitness.
06
Motivational Support and Accountability
Staying motivated and accountable is key to long-term success. I provide ongoing motivational support and accountability through regular check-ins, progress reviews, and personalized coaching. My goal is to keep you engaged, inspired, and committed to your fitness journey, ensuring that you stay on track and achieve your desired results.
Justin is a great trainer, worthy of more than 5 stars! I've tried others, but he's the only one who got me where I wanted to be physically. He pays such close attention to every aspect of how you move during the exercise, and makes small adjustments that have a huge impact on the results. I've had a tight muscle in my shoulder for years and he added a series of exercises to work a small muscle in my back that worked like magic - first time in a decade that shoulder feels good. He helped me straighten my posture and strengthen my upper body, something I've been trying to do for years. He is great at explaining how the muscles work together and how the exercises in one party of the body impact another part. And he has a wonderful sense of humor!
