Weight Training for Seniors, Tim Vagen

Product Description

Weight Training for Seniors – Personal Training for Seniors – How Hard Should Seniors Train?

Weight Training For Seniors:-

Tim Vagen, a “senior” who trains senior clients in addition to elite athletes, presents a foundation for personal trainers working with an aging clientele. What are their needs? What are their concerns? Tim clearly suggests ways a personal trainer can best serve this huge and growing market from a position of confidence.

“We’re all seniors, so let’s see what we can do to deal with some of the problems seniors go after, some of the limitations they have, and then try to figure out what we’re going to do to train them.

“Every workout, every set and every repetition has to be toward the end goal. Get your clients to be focusing on that. Get them working toward a goal every time. There’s no reason to be in the gym doing anything you want. You have to have a reason for what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.” ~Tim Vagen
