In “The Key to Enjoying Life After 50” podcast episode, I had an interesting chat with Karli Soyland, our fantastic coach of Sioux Falls Fit Body Forever. We dove into the world of staying fit and healthy as we age. Karli shared how our Fit Body Forever program is tailored for people aged 55 and above, focusing on strength, stamina, and balance.
At Fit Body Forever, we have exercises designed especially for those over 55. The workouts help build strength, increase stamina, and improve balance. What’s cool is that we personalize exercises to match your needs as your body changes with age.
Sioux Falls Fit Body Forever is like a friendly exercise club for folks 55 and older. We work to create a supportive atmosphere that’s not just about fitness but also making connections and friendships.
One big thing we discussed is the myth that older people can’t do the same exercises as younger people. Karli strongly disagrees with this idea, highlighting the impressive abilities of older adults. At Fit Body Forever, age does not determine your ability.
Karli stressed the importance of assessing clients before they start their workouts. The goal is to challenge and improve gradually. Those gradual changes can be different for each person. One part of our assessments is our InBody Scan, a machine that accurately measures current body fat and muscle composition. These scans help better tailor exercises to individual needs and health conditions.
Sioux Falls Fit Body Forever offers a free orientation and assessment. This means you can try it out before making a full commitment. And the program keeps growing, so more older adults can benefit from staying healthy and fit in their golden years.
If you’re an older adult wanting to start your fitness journey or a family member searching for a great program for a loved one, Fit Body Forever is a great choice. It’s not just about physical health; it’s about the community and support too. Click here to learn more about Sioux Falls Fit Body Forever.
