What guidelines do you recommend for women over 50 to acheive and maintain physical fitness?
Hello Renee,
That is one big question.
I’ll start off by saying that as fitness professionals we don’t prescribe diets so I really don’t have an answer for that portion of your question.
However, regarding the rest of your question, you state that:
1. Your client is in average health.
Are you saying that she is in average health for a 50-year-old woman? If that is the case, how do you define “average health” for women of that age group? Personally, I know some women over 50 who are more conditioned that women much younger than themselves. In a nutshell, the program you design for your client will be dependent upon the results you get from the fitness assessments you use to determine her current level of conditioning.
I wish I could give you more clarity, however, your question is a bit unclear.
Best.
