Meet Marilyn.
Let’s just say Marilyn is older than 80yrs.
She has been a valued client of our Principal Sports & Exercise Physio Britt Caling for almost 20yrs.
It took Britt 7yrs to convince Marilyn that Pilates and some exercise would be good for her.
Now we have created an exercise monster (💪so to speak)
Pilates exercises have shifted across to lifting weights for her:
✅function to live independently
✅bone health to reduce the risk of Osteoporosis
✅balance to reduce the risk of falls
✅generally to clear her head and feel great!
Marilyn currently lifts/pulls:
👉a trap bar squat with 28.5kg 💪
👉 a seated row of 24kg
👉a lat pull down of 18kg
👉a kettlebell deadlift of 18kg
👉Plus she has just mastered the timing of a calf raise to overhead dumbbell press moving 3kg dumbbells overhead
We congratulated Marilyn on her perseverance and determination yesterday with her own mug that says “I might be over 80yrs… just watch me go”.
It’s been a pleasure to support you for this many years Marilyn 👊
