Exercise for Adults Over 60: Preventing Muscle Loss and Building Upper Body Strength Safely

I would like to say how much I enjoyed an online group class with Maria. I am older (64) but flexible, with farm animals and chores. I found that I was doing several of the exercises which I did at home on my own incorrectly.

I am NOT good at pushups – upper body strength could definitely be improved, and I definitely need to work harder at pushing myself. Maria both gently corrected my form (squats, pushups, etc), but also encouraged us all to greater levels than I do.

I really received a much better workout, AND got my heart rate up where it should be during exercise than I have done on my own. She makes allowances and/or changes the exercise for physical differences and levels among the group, so it is a challenge for each person, but not beyond that person’s ability.

I enjoyed it so much, I am enrolling in group classes now. I highly recommend Maria!
