O bătrânică de 73 de ani a slăbit 23 de kilograme și și-a schimbat viața. Transformarea e incredibilă!

Medicii i-au spus că dacă va continua același stil de viață sedentar, în care își face toate poftele, dozele de medicamente vor trebui mărite, iar întreg organismul va suferi.

Încurajată și de fiica ei, a luat decizia de a-și schimba viața. Fără prea multă încredere, a făcut însă pas după pas. Pe măsură ce făcea și cea mai mică schimbare în dietă, pe măsură ce reușea, la început, să se plimbe mai mult, pe distanțe mai mari, efectele benefice apăreau.

20 reps for four sets!! ???My Coach is trying to kill me!! ?? . Every time I head to the gym I give it my best effort! I always use the proper equipment like these knee sleeves and stable shoes when I’m training. I also always try to improve my form and get a full range of motion. I’m far from perfect but boy o boy I push hard in there, even for a grandma! I never ever baby myself just because I’m older. I know that real change requires real effort and I’m prepared to give it my all. ???? Don’t hold yourself back! Every time you step into the gym give your ? % best shot. Leave it all on the gym floor, and get what you came for!

În câțiva ani, de la o femeie resemnată, Joan a ajuns să meargă vioaie la sală și chiar să apară pe coperta mai multor reviste de fitness.

Ladies, if you want a great exercise for your glutes and hamstrings, look no further! ?? Swiss Ball Hamstring Curls: Keys 1) elevate team hips so you are in a reverse plank position and keep those hips up 2) ribs down, abs tight; don’t arch and down round either 3) balance your heels on the ball and roll it towards your feet by flexing your hamstrings and squeezing the glutes 4) slowly roll the ball out until the knees are extended. . I like to do 3 sets of 12-16 reps, nice and controlled, and boy do these get my backside on ??!! . . Fueled by @womensbest BCAAS and Fit Whey protein! ??? .

Well, slowly but surely my form is improving, and this was AFTER I finished my workout! ?? Every time I come down here to Tulum it’s like the clock turns back another few years. Maybe it’s the warm sea salt air, or being in the jungle, or being around family I don’t know, but I love it. I can’t wait to meet all the beautiful women arriving on Friday for our retreat on the beach!! Have a wonderful Monday everybody and a fantastic week! Believe in yourself, keep your heart and mind open for the best possibilities to come your way and remember, a grateful heart is a magnet for good things. ?? .

De la peste 90 de kilograme, bătrânica de 73 de ani, acum cu un chef de viață molipsitor, are acum nu cu mult peste 60 de kilograme, greutatea ideală pentru statura și vârsta sa.

Ridică fără frică greutăți și merge cu cu bicicleta de câte ori are ocazia. Se antrenează ca un profesionist și nimic nu ar mai putea în prezent să o readucă la viața pe care o ducea cu câțiva ani în urmă.

Romanian Deadlifts! ?? I do these to help strengthen my backside and really tone up my muscles. These are very hard, no doubt about it, and they aren’t easy to do right so I do recommend working with a professional. ? I know I am very lucky to have a daughter and a son-in-law who are at the top of their fields. Every time I come down to Tulum to their gym I learn something new. ?? Here are my tips for mastering this exercise: 1) think of really tightening up your back and squeeze the back of your armpits, just like you are trying to stop someone from tickling you ☺️ 2) get a nice, tight tummy and fill it up with air before you begin. I hold my breath as I lift the weight and only take a quick sip when I’m at the top 3)keep that bar on your legs! @jeanjacquesbarrett and @yourhealthyhedonista are really strict on that. If the bar starts leaving my legs, I can start to feel it in my back. ? 4) really keep the back from rounding. I am thinking of keeping a “proud chest”. I have a naturally rounded back from old age but I’m hoping that with this exercise and others I can prevent it from getting worse. My own mother had a real “dowagers” back so I guess it’s partly hereditary. I’m no expert. Like you guys I’m trying to keep learning and to keep getting better. I work with people who really know what they are doing and I trust them to have my health as a top priority. I recommend that you also work with professionals. I know it is so hard to find reliable help theses days but word of mouth is a wonderful thing. If you want to tag someone who you feel would be a good coach or trainer for people, please do so and list the area they work in and the gym they work at. A little community effort can go a long way. ?? . My favorite @womensbest pink seamless outfit Knee sleeves are by @sbdapparel . #girlswholift #girlswhopowerlift #bodybuilding #fitover70
