Ames, Iowa: Movement, Muscle and Metabolism for Longevity
An intimate Midwest women’s fitness retreat (LIMITED spaces). Take four days to learn more about your body and how to care for it, with movement, lifestyle habits and a focus on strength, power and metabolic health for the decades ahead. If aging gracefully doesn’t appeal to you as much as aging racefully, living the bucket life, this is for you.
The Art and Science of:
- Musculoskeletal changes in menopause and what you have the power to do about them
- Evidence-based protocols for reversing bone and muscle loss
- Weight re-composition (gain or keep muscle and lose fat)
- The truth about visceral belly fat
- Assessments (you don’t have to sweat for) of mobility, stability, strength and power, and what the results mean
- Eat before or fast before? How much protein and why? What counts as weight training, and how many sets, how often?
