This past weekend two of my favorite clients finished their first 100-mile bike ride. We call that a "Century Ride." 100-miles on a bike is impressive for anyone, but slightly more impressive for this husband and wife team.
You see, she just turned 60 years old and he is clinging to 59 for a few more weeks. (He reminds her about the difference in that first number about every 5 minutes!)
They are not hardcore triathletes or longtime athletic competitors. They are parents, home owners and have careers. They get aches and pains, overcome obstacles, and sometimes do more than they should. But THEY GET IT!!
For the three years we've worked together their mantra has been "we're here to work." He had a long day at the office, her shoulder is nagging, they both did a long ride the day before. All of those possible excuses present themselves every week. But they stick to their world view...."we're here to work."
And work they do. We meet once a week at 8pm to do a total body workout that includes short cardio intervals, lots of full body exercises, dumbbells, medicine balls, TRX straps, etc. They want to leave feeling like they made a difference in their health. They want to be faster on the bike, strong for their kayak, and feel good about themselves.
Do you think you will be able to do a 100-mile bike ride when you reach 60? If not, start doing something about it now. Contact me for a complimentary fitness consultation and a fitness assessment. Let's see where you are with your fitness and get you moving more.
Remember my Elevation Boot Camp in Chalfont runs M/W/F at 5:45am and M/Tu/Th at 6:15pm. Come out and get the first week of classes for free.
Be well,
Paul
