IFAST Podcast #14 – Considerations for Successfully Training Senior Clients

written by Mike Robertson

When you first start training clients in your 20’s or 30’s, it’s easy to assume that everyone you train is just like you.

You know – young, healthy, fit, no previous injury history, etc.

That’s why when you get your first “older” client, it can be quite a shock!

In today’s episode, Bill and I break down what it’s really like to train a senior client, and some of the things you need to consider.

Things like….

  • What things do you need to take into account initially,
  • How dancing and tai chi can be your power training,
  • The role of balance (and how to incorporate it into the program),
  • Why strength training is such a critical piece of the puzzle,
  • How to modify and adapt exercises to fit every clients’ needs,
  • And much more!

I think there’s a ton of good info and insight in this episode, and I truly hope you enjoy it!

All the best,
MR
