Get Fit in the New Year
The New Year is a good time to get on the right path with your fitness regime. I met with Abe Kleinfeld, the co-owner of Main Street Fitness in Downtown PGrove. We talked about advantages of working on strength and balance, especially as we add more years to our dance card! Abe described the science of, say, going downstairs with the laundry basket. We know where the next step is, but as we age, we lose the sensory experience of where that step is. But there’s good news! You can regain the skill and train to revive and keep it. Gardening is another activity we want to keep fit for ourselves. Abe has a client with shoulder and knee pain, and after 6 weeks of training, every ache and pain disappeared. I want some of that! The studio has a bright, clean and friendly atmosphere. Four trainers are on available to listen to your goals and suggest workouts. The high-intensity, slow strength training approach is used at Main Street to avoid fast and jerky movements which can contribute to injuries. The approach makes this strength training safer than many traditional methods. Abe and I got so excited about the possibilities for our community, we invite you to a short gathering to learn more about Main Street Fitness and, my volunteer passion, the Village Network which serves Petaluma and Penngrove residents.
Sunday, January 27 from 2:30 – 3:30 pm, join us for Aging with Strength, Aging Better Together, at the studio in Penngrove Station, 11790 Main Street, Suite D, downtown PGrove.
