Aging is inevitable, but losing strength and mobility doesn’t have to be. As we age, maintaining our physical fitness becomes even more important for our quality of life. At Interval Plus, we believe fitness is for everyone, regardless of age or experience level. Our functional fitness programs are scalable, meaning they can be adapted to suit the needs of older adults while still offering a challenging and rewarding workout.

 Key Fitness Areas to Focus on as You Age:

1. Strength Training: As we age, muscle mass naturally declines—a process called sarcopenia. Strength training, such as weightlifting, helps counteract this process by building and maintaining muscle mass. This not only improves your physical appearance but also boosts your metabolic rate and supports joint health. At Interval Plus, we incorporate strength training in every class to help you stay strong at any age.

2. Mobility and Flexibility: Keeping joints flexible and mobile is crucial for maintaining independence as you age. Exercises like stretching, yoga, and functional movements that improve range of motion can reduce the risk of falls and make everyday tasks easier.

3. Cardiovascular Health: Cardiovascular exercise keeps your heart strong and healthy. At Interval Plus, our high-intensity workouts are designed to improve cardiovascular endurance while being adaptable to your fitness level.

4. Core Stability: A strong core helps with balance, posture, and overall functional movement. A weak core can lead to back pain and other injuries. At Interval Plus, we integrate core exercises into every workout, helping you stay stable and balanced.

 Why Functional Fitness is Perfect for Older Adults:

Functional fitness focuses on movements that mimic everyday activities, making it ideal for older adults looking to maintain independence. Whether it’s lifting groceries, climbing stairs, or playing with grandchildren, functional training improves your ability to move safely and efficiently in daily life.

At Interval Plus, our coaches are trained to modify exercises to match your individual fitness level, ensuring you get a challenging workout that’s safe and effective for you.
