One client I began working with a few months ago started out very unfit. Over 40 and overweight, her muscles were weak, she was in poor cardiovascular condition, and she had very little endurance. She had to stop between each exercise to recover and catch her breath.
In the time since we began training, she has become incredibly stronger. It’s amazing and inspiring. Not only does she weight train, she goes outdoors on walking/jogging intervals. Her heart rate response is so much better and she has great recovery time.
This is just one example. Most of my clients come to me because they are out of shape and overweight. They start at a very low level of fitness. They struggle to exercise. They huff and sweat, muscles burning and quivering.
But give them a few months.
I have never worked with anyone who has not experienced great fitness gains from exercise. If they stick with it and always do their best, their body and heart get stronger. People who are 150 pounds overweight, people who are 70 years old, people with knee issues…it doesn’t matter. They can overcome.
No matter how old you are, how overweight you are, or how out of shape you are, you can become fit. It will take work. It will take time. It will be miserable to begin with. But in time you will be amazed at how strong you become and how good you feel.
