Success Story 2011 – Susan Dybas
Susan Dybas "If Bowflex will work for me, it will work for anyone" Susan is a stay at home mom with two boys ages 8 and 4. She struggled with her weight for nearly 15 years. After her kids were born, her weight got really out of control. She tried nearly every diet known with little or no success. "One night I was up late watching TV, and saw the advertisement for the Bowflex® TreadClimber® machine but didn't pay much attention …at first. Finally, I woke up and asked myself "What have I got to lose?". It was the best investment I have ever made!" Susan has been using the Bowflex® TreadClimber® machine three times a week along with a regular diet. She has lost over 160 lbs! That's right! 160+ lbs! But she is not finished. Susan started off weighing 367 lbs and her goal is 150 lbs. She went from a size 4X to a size 14 and her goal is to reach size 7/8!

Weight training for women 40+ Part2: Back training
It is never too late to start strength training. Weight training for women older than 40 is especially important. As women age, fat distribution changes, hormones fluctuate with menopause and metabolism slows down. Gaining fat presents more health risks that include increased risk for heart disease, breast cancer, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and high blood pressure. Strength training develops muscle, which helps your body burn more fat even at rest. Added muscle increases the amount of calories your body burns in a day, which helps ward off weight gain. As a beginner remember to take things slow and progress gradually to prevent injury and give your body time to adapt. For general health benefits, women should weightlift at least two times a week for at least 50 minutes. Ask an employee of your health club for advice on learning the proper techniques for different weight lifting exercises. Do 4/5 sets of each strength exercise. Lift a weight that allows you to perform 10 to 12 repetitions without losing form. However, the weight should be high enough that by the last repetition, your muscles are tired. When you reach a point in an exercise when the weight is not challenging enough, increase the weight or the number of repetitions to continually challenge your muscles. Warnings: Consult a doctor before beginning any exercise program. Trainer: Jenny Gaidoukevitch www.jennysport.com gym: FlexiFitness Leiderdorp 04.2011
