As Kinesiologists and Personal Trainers, we will custom design a physical activity, fitness, and lifestyle plan to strengthen personal weaknesses and work with you to reach challenging, yet realistic goals.\u00a0 We will design and lead private exercise sessions using various modes of exercise and exercise equipment.\u00a0 Also, we will record and monitor every client’s exercise program in order to facilitate safe and effective progression.\u00a0 Our aim is to promote an active, healthy lifestyle for aging individuals using\u00a0 specific exercises that target the improvement of<\/span> strength, endurance, balance and\u00a0flexibility<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

Strength training<\/span> is extremely important for older individuals because as we age, our bones\u00a0and muscles gradually\u00a0decrease in mass.\u00a0 A reduction in bone mass increases the risk of osteoporosis, and reduced muscle mass decreases the strength\u00a0and speed of our\u00a0movements.\u00a0\u00a0Active Living’s regular\u00a0strength training program incorporates \u00a0the use of body weight, resistance bands, and light weights\u00a0to lessen the effects of aging\u00a0by strengthening\u00a0bones and muscles.\u00a0 We always\u00a0teach clients the proper form and technique\u00a0of exercises to\u00a0prevent injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Endurance training<\/span> promotes cardiovascular health by improving the efficiency of the heart and blood circulation to the working muscles.\u00a0 Endurance exercises also improve the strength of joints and promote mental alertness.\u00a0 Active Living uses a variety of endurance exercises, such as walking, jogging, and cycling to reach optimal functioning of the heart.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Balance<\/span> plays a critical role in the prevention of injury.\u00a0 Balance is extremely important for older individuals because as we age, individuals are more susceptible to injury caused by falls and it becomes more and more difficult to make a full recovery.\u00a0 Our training programs will incorporate exercises to improve balance and reduce the risk of injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Flexibility<\/span> and<\/span> stretching<\/span> of the muscles provides many benefits to improve <\/span><\/span>health.\u00a0 These benefits include the improvement of physical ability, movement through a greater range of motion, the decrease in the risk of injury, reduction of muscle soreness, improvement of posture, and the increase of blood supply and nutrients to the working muscles.\u00a0 Active Living promotes stretching before and after exercise for the reasons listed above, to relax the mind and body, and bring a sense of self-gratification of exercise.<\/span><\/h3>\n
