NEW YORK NIGHT LIFE!

SeniorFit Personal Training Opens in New York City

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 5, 2007 -- Irene Pastore, President, announces the opening of SeniorFit Personal Training (http://www.seniorfitnyc.com/) to promote healthy aging for New Yorkers 50 and over. The need for age appropriate personal training has never been greater. Meeting the demands of the fastest growing U.S. population for safe and effective exercise, SeniorFit is designed to reduce risk while improving quality of life.

"Older adults are looking for personal training that gets results, while providing fun and variety, without risk of injury. In fact, fear of injury may develop into a long-term excuse to avoid exercise," comments Ms. Pastore, whose ultimate goal is to help boomers and seniors prolong healthy longevity, and independence.

Pastore says that the older body is more susceptible to orthopedic injury, and that standard workouts for younger adults are inappropriate for the over 50 population. Training sessions have to be adapted to meet the needs of boomers and seniors, while offering challenge, diversity, and enjoyment. Equipment should offer fun and variety, but must be very safe, and easy to use. Thorough health screening, and physician consent, are important criteria that helps eliminate the potential for exercise related injury.

"A client who feels confident that exercise won't threaten their balance, or other existing health conditions, is more likely to stick with the program, and enjoy it as well," she remarks.

In addition to strength training, Pastore uses agility ladders, and obstacle courses to help clients improve balance. "Working with this type of equipment keeps the mind alert, and improves confidence. Agility, strength, and balance training, are key in the prevention of falls on slick winter pavement, icy city streets, and subway steps," she maintains.

Whether retired or still working, older New Yorkers are on-the-go, and want to stay in shape. The upbeat Manhattan firm helps them to achieve their health and fitness goals, by providing a full range of home based personal training programs. To make exercise enjoyable, Pastore offers plenty of options. While strength training is the foundation of the SeniorFit program, Pastore integrates variety by offering different types of equipment, and other types of exercise such as Tai Chi, Yoga, Balance Discs, and other fun equipment. Choices are based on ability, health, and personal preference.

Irene Pastore is a native New Yorker, who has been active in sports and recreational activities since childhood. Her professional career in fitness began in 1996. Pastore is a Specialist in Fitness for Older Adults, and holds several personal training certificates from the International Sports Sciences Association, and the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Pastore says that a vigorous old age is possible, and that Americans shouldn't use aging as an excuse to deteriorate.
