Jill celebrating her 69th birthday with her gorgeous granddaughters.
For 45 years Jill has struggled with knee pain. YES! 45 years! Osteoarthritis has set in and pain killers to get through the day or sleep at night are “normal”. Jill has seen multiple specialists and has been told ultimately she will need two knee replacements.
Jill has been involved in F.I.R.E. (focussed, intense, resistance, exercise) at Healthy Horizons for over a year now. Slowly and steadily improving. This year, approaching her 70th birthday she decided to complete her first 12 week MP transformation to really start to take charge of those sabotaging habits.
It’s no secret when people do an MP 12 week transformation, aches and pains decrease and can even cease! Imagine not having to focus on pain and instead focus on living it up!
Food CAN be your medicine!
We teach clients about the combination of the right nutrients at the right time and a focussed, resistance training program working together to build stronger, more efficient and thriving bodies.
What most people fail to realise is they have to give their bodies time to heal, correct and then well…things start to happen!
I asked Jill what are the biggest changes she has noticed?
I can walk without pain.
I can ride a bike with my granddaughters.
I don’t need hardly any pain medication.
I can walk up and down stairs with ease ( this use to be a big problem).
F.I.R.E. is always about working with a client from where they are at. The exercise selection is purposeful and considered. Jill could not do standard squats, deadlifts, lunges and even the leg press would cause pain. So the focus is always on what the client ‘can’ do…not on what they can’t!
In this last 12 weeks, Jill has lost 9cm from her stomach, and 5kgs in body fat and is now is more determined than ever not to go back to her old habits.
