Exercise Essentials
The facts of fitness that really add up for each of us are those that directly affect our well-being and how we look and feel. Fitness requires an active choice; Lori Michiel Fitness makes that choice fun and easy.
Benefits of regular exercise:
• Increase stamina, decrease fatigue
• Enhance feelings of well-being
• Jump-start metabolism
• Lower cholesterol and blood pressure
• Feel flexible and limber
• Improve balance and function
• Decrease anxiety and mood swings
• Improve sex life
Results of inactivity with age:
• Loss of muscle strength
• Increased risk of chronic disease
• Joint and muscle pain increased due to stiffness
• Increased risk of falls, sprains and other accidents/injury due to lack of use
• Previously enjoyed activities become limited, including social ones
• Dysfunctional relationships
Talk Test
The talk test is a simple check of whether an individual can talk easily during exercise. Someone performing moderate-intensity exercise should be able to talk, though not sing or carry on a full discussion, during activity. Individuals performing vigorous-intensity exercise should not be able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath.

Lori and her team provide personal training for my elderly mother who has Alzheimer's and dementia, as part of her overall care. They customized a program addressing her needs, including balance and mobility. She really likes her two trainers and looks forward to her sessions. I highly recommend Lori Michiel Fitness!
