Okay, boomer gals, it’s the third week in January—-how are those “I’m going to lose weight and get in shape” New Year’s resolutions going?

I’m already starting to see some resolutioners lose focus and fall off the wagon, so I made a little video for you in which I reveal a secret weapon you can use to increase the likelihood you’ll stick with your program this year.

This “secret weapon” is a household item you probably have within 4 feet of you as you read this!  Put it to use as I suggest in the video below—and your resolutions are more likely to come to fruition!

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be filming a few more videos for you to help you get in the best shape of your life.  If you have experienced set backs in your effort to lose weight and improve your health, please leave a comment below.  I’ll try to give you ideas in a future video on how to avoid those set backs this time.

Need accountability in order to stick with your plan?  I’m here for you!

Leave a comment below and let me know what your specific goals are and when you plan to achieve them.  I’m happy to keep you accountable and offer suggestions when I can.

If you’d like to get more focused by using a goal sheet, I’ve made the goal sheet I use for my personal training clients available to you.  Download your goal sheet HERE.

Committed to your success,

Becky

Perhaps it’s the colder Fall weather, but I’ve been hearing a lot lately about “achey” knees.  We boomer gals can have sore knees for a variety of reasons.  Unfortunately, sore knees can sometimes affect our ability to exercise, or make us feel that we’re limited in what we can do for exercise. Not a good situation for those of us trying to manage our weight! Strangely enough, though, exercise is sometimes just what we need to improve the comfort level of our joints! There are a lot of situations that can cause knee pain, so it’s always best to see a doctor to check your particular situation.

I put a short video together to show you my top 4 exercises for strengthening the thighs and the hips.  I incorporate a number of these exercises into my personal training programs and my boot camp for boomers in San Jose. Strong thigh and hip muscles can help support arthritic knees by better stabilizing the joint.  Many of us boomer gals tend to be weak in our deep hip muscles, so one of the exercises targets just that area.

So, if you suffer from “boomeritis” of the knees, check with your doctor first to see if these exercises are safe for you, and then give them a try!
