Senior Weight Loss Camp | Fit for 70 at Las Vegas Live-in Fitness

This was a long-standing goal for David and he eagerly joined the two other younger men at the private residential weight loss camp.

He had just sold his company to enter into retirement life and needed to lose weight and get back into shape.

Tony, age 53 was rebuilding his body after surviving cancer and chemotherapy. Donald, age 48 was on a mission to overcome health risks brought on by several years of self-neglect.

The three men bonded and set about on an adventure that pushed them all on to a much higher level than they had anticipated. See David’s video highlight story of his adventures at senior weight loss camp to see how it worked!

Senior Weight Loss Camp Gets 79-year-old Fit for 80th at Las Vegas Live-in Fitness

Walter’s son contacted Debra at Las Vegas Live-in Fitness after viewing her web page and videos on “Senior Weight Loss Camp“.

After years of spousal care giving followed by 3 years of sedentary bereavement, he had lost interest in all that once kept him active. They needed a customized program suitable for Walter to start at a very low level of physical capability.

Debra explained that her approach for senior weight loss camp clients was the same as for any other special population; assess then progress.

After seeing what Walter was comfortable doing, the progress began. Small steps toward improvement were made in each of the workout sessions taking place throughout the day. Over the period of one month, Walter had exceeded his own expectations.

The Adult Tricycle is used in Senior Weight Loss Camp conditioning program.

A major aspect of Walter’s cardio workouts were done on an industrial tricycle as seen in the video highlight story below. This gave him the stability he needed while enhancing leg and lung power. Also, his weight-bearing cardio workouts utilized Nordic trekking poles. Again, stability was optimized while redistributing efforts onto his upper body to help off load the legs. This worked well for Walter and in a short while he regained the confidence to walk with greater stamina and stability. He then began to plan travel and sightseeing trips for the near future!

The quality of Walter’s life was greatly enhanced by increasing his ability for life’s daily tasks with a nice reserve left over for recreation.

Update: Since leaving Debra’s Senior Weight Loss Camp, Walter has ridden his mountain bike 40 minutes daily and claims he will never give it up again.

Jack LaLanne started the first fitness show on TV in 1957 at age 43 when he taught viewers the fitness lifestyle.

Fitness Icon Proves Benefit of Fitness Lifestyle

Television had just become available in American households and his popular program continued to air for 34 years. His message was always consistent and his life exemplified health, and wellness through a fitness lifestyle. As a child, I cannot forget my activities in front of the television while mimicking Jack Lalanne’s exercises.

He enjoyed the benefit of good health until his recent death at age 96 and had exercised daily throughout his life. For his 60th and 70th birthdays he performed public exhibitions with his physical fitness feats that were amazing. Jack Lalanne swam a mile and a half with his hands shackled while pulling 70 boats full of people to celebrate his 70 years of life. He claimed he did this to prove to people that anything is possible at any age when you life a fitness lifestyle.

Due to his fitness lifestyle, Jack was an inspiration to countless people for health and fitness.

His mentor was Paul Bragg, the legendary nutrition guru who started the first health food stores. You can still purchase Bragg food products such as Bragg’s Amino Acids at any food store in the health section. Let Jack Lalanne’s senior fitness legacy inspire you to learn the fitness lifestyle of daily exercise and good nutrition.

Senior Fitness Weight Loss Retreat – Difference in Goals?

Posted on January 22, 2011 by Debra

Senior Fitness Camp training is paced the same way as any other exercise population.

That is by starting the Senior Fitness Camp at the level of the participants and progressing from that baseline. After establishing baseline exercise performance, the Senior Fitness Camp results can be proven to the participants to further personal goal setting.

Most older adults join a Senior Fitness Camp with a goal to lose weight.

Shortly afterward, determination of clear-cut short and long-term goals will accelerate progress. Senior Fitness Camp goals must include balance training, strength and cardio conditioning.

Personal goal attainment at the Senior Fitness Camp may make it possible to qualify for medical release from certain medications. Many senior prescriptions are the cause of side effects such as weight gain, dizziness, and loss of equilibrium. Fall prevention and the ability to get down on the floor with grandchildren and be able to get back up again without assistance is another goal driven need.

Senior Fitness Camp Training Regimen

Traveling drills for Agility and Stability working both right and left in front and sidestepping patterns.

Sitting and standing Squat Work from seated chair level then progressing from assisted to hands-free movement. Included will be split-stance foot placements to mimic functional work, as well as, lifting and carrying motions.

Abdominal Strengthening is done by Seated side reaches, seated lean backs; lying on back with short-range reaching movements at different angles to build core body strength. Movements progress from the floor holding onto stable furniture at various levels before going hands-free. Inflated balls are utilized for seated and recline progression.

Single-sided training of the body through non-dominant movement patterns to promote balanced strength symmetry.

Senior Fitness Camp participants learn to recognize self-defeating fears and cancel them before they cause falls. Positive self-talk builds physical confidence and strength of will. The Senior Fitness Camp participant will practice mental disciplines for overcoming fear of falling.

Senior Fitness- Lose Weight & Get In Shape at Las Vegas Live-in Fitness

Without Getting All Shook Up!

Senior Fitness clients striving to regain optimal fitness levels…

… to enjoy an active retirement lifestyle are the largest group of new exercisers. Good news is that it is never too late to improve your functional fitness and increase your physical well-being.

Working toward retirement often causes sedentary habits due to technology in the workplace. Also, the loss of free time can deprive you of your favorite pastimes such as golf, tennis, bicycling, even going to the gym.

Senior Fitness is the key to retirement enjoyment.

Not all retirement-aged seniors are actually retired. Many continue to pursue various streams of revenue although they may not work for an employer. Finding time to schedule physical activity is an important element in living a wellness lifestyle. This is why healthcare providers have provided incentives for Senior Fitness. Silver Sneakers fitness programs start you at a level of seated participation long before you advance out of the chair and onto your feet. Conditioning can be accomplished at any level whether remaining seated or moving about.

An article about Senior Fitness motivation would not be complete without talking about great sources of natural motivation.

As with any client of any age, fitness trainers do well to find out what motivates the client to adhere to the disciplines of fitness. Without this, most individuals will be on and off again without accumulating much progress along the way. This dilemma can be more wear and tear than actually building one’s health. Hence, the importance of taking a page out of the exercise Psychology primer to first figure out the motivational drivers. With most seniors this is the easy part.

Grandchildren Motivate Senior Fitness

Our Senior Fitness poster model depicted here with Elvis arrived at Las Vegas Live In Fitness with a goal to lose weight. Shortly afterward, she determined clear-cut short and long-term goals. These included balance training and cardio conditioning. She also made personal goals to qualify for medical release from certain medications causing side effects such as weight gain, dizziness, and loss of equilibrium. Fall prevention became a focus and dramatic progress has been seen daily. Highest on her list of things to accomplish is the ability to get down on the floor with grandchildren and be able to get back up again without assistance. She succeeded within ten days of Senior Fitness conditioning!

Having fun bonding with family is a key to fitness at any age. Older adults cannot take for granted the functional fitness that they once enjoyed. Senior Fitness must be a daily goal and maintained for life. A wellness lifestyle is attained when you possess the physical abilities to perform life’s daily tasks with ease and with a reserve left over for play. Senior Fitness is even more important for maintaining fundamental abilities for enjoying life.
