What will this class do for me?

The 7 day "Fix Your Posture With Chair Pilates" program will work to loosen up the tight muscles and strengthen weaker muscles to help you get back into proper alignment. You'll find that you are able to relieve the muscle tension and feel more comfortable.

You will also learn how to prevent these problems from occurring again in the future. You will recognize the warning signs and be able to adapt to avoid pain and soreness from returning.

Stephanie walks you step-by-step through each of the exercises in a daily routine. Her detailed instructions allow you to follow along without having to keep your eyes glued to the screen. You can practice at your own pace in the comfort of your home, and you'll get the feeling of being in the studio. It won't feel like you're “missing out" on anything. You'll also find it's more time and cost-effective than a regular class. Each day can be re-watched and re-used for a lifetime of value.

Strong muscles & bones are what keeps everything in your body in place & working properly. But when you experience muscle and bone density loss, this allows some slight aches & pains to slip in. 

That’s when people start adapting how they walk, move, bend or reach to avoid the pain. 

But when you do this, you’re not using your muscles properly...

... causing you to lose muscle mass—which causes even worse pain.

But this cycle CAN be reversed to lessen your pain, improve your mobility, & build the muscle you need to function your best every single day.

1. Gain a little bit of muscle

2. Body starts functioning better

3. Leading to fewer aches & pains

4. Which lets you use your body as it's meant to be used

5. And that lets you build more muscle so you can continue getting stronger, more mobile & capable again!

Over 17,000+ older adults found the "Improve Your Functional Strength" program helped make hobbies, chores & daily tasks easy again

It's the simple way to make every single thing you do each day a whole lot easier

Signs you might have Sarcopenia:

Muscle weakness

Unable to walk as far

Struggling to lift & carry items

Struggling to climb stairs

Difficulty getting out of chairs

Losing mobility

Stumbling, tripping or falling

Loss of stamina

A slower walk

Daily tasks are getting harder to do

Sarcopenia is common among older adults. It causes your muscles to thin by decreasing the amount and size of the muscle fibers you have.

When you lose muscle, it can show up as pain in every single part of your body.

Your muscles keep your bones, ligaments & joints in place, supported & functioning properly. 

So when they thin it causes your body to come out of alignment. This puts pressure on joints, bones & other muscles that causes even more pain... 

... and begins a downward spiral of decreasing ability. 

As the pain grows...

• You use your muscles less...
• Which causes more pain...
• Less function...
• And more problems. 

You can STOP Sarcopenia & get your body's abilities back—at ANY age.

Here's how...
