Yvonne Aguilar Health Coaching and Personal Training

This is what you need to think about how you train.

Most people train for how they want to look in a few months.
I train for how I want to live decades from now.

Strength isn’t about summer — it’s about staying capable, independent, and adventurous as the years pass.

What age are you training for right now… 40, 60, 80?

👇 Let’s hear it.

Your focus should always be your health.

I’ve always preached functionality, but at 53, I feel the benefit of working in my functional movement when I train more than ever. Move smart!

There are literally no days in the week where you move the exact same way you did the day before. So why would you train/exercise using the exact same movements all the time? Think about your movements throughout the day and consider exercising in ways that add to your daily strength and endurance.

Why is agility training an important part of your exercise regimen?

Most people are used to moving in one direction — forward — but learning how to move your body 360 degrees and react quickly to stimuli can be beneficial in your everyday life. Agility training also reduces your risk of injury, it improves coordination and balance.

So you lost 20 lbs. a year ago on DIET X,Y or Z…? Have you maintained that weight loss? Or, have you managed to find the weight you lost?

Your “diet” didn’t work for you. Developing healthy eating habits is a lifetime journey. Enjoy your food! Learn how to eat well. And strive for good health through more healthy eating and movement. Find a healthy, happy balance.

This is even more true as you age. Keep moving people! The benefits of movement are monumental.

The brain is made up of 75 percent water. We lose 60-84 ounces daily. Did you know that even a 1-2 percent drop in fluids can affect your ability to focus? Just another reason to start a healthy drinking habit. Drink your water people!

I’m always talking about balance. Balance in nutrition and balance in exercise. You should NEVER do the same thing all the time. Today I worked on strength training, focusing on my upper body, on ONE LEG. I’m sad to admit that my literal balance is way off, because I haven’t been working on my balance training. I’ve been doing the things I love for exercise and have neglected this vital part of my overall wellness and strength. Good wake up call!

If you struggle with standing on one foot, work on it. Most falls that occur in older age are a direct result of poor balance.
