The bottom line is there is no reason for any woman to feel she can’t adopt a weight program similar to her male counterpart and enjoy all the benefits as a reward for her efforts. Just make sure to get some help starting out from a qualified, professional trainer and give yourself a fittle time to earn and enjoy the experi- ence so it can be moulded as part of your daily lifestyle. And remember: Women are capable of training at the same levels of intensity as men and should be encour- aged to do so, thereby caus- ing appropriate adaptation of bone, muscle and connective tissue. They only thing they should avoid is a physical trainer or coach that suggests it’s not good for them. Seniors Older people in our soci- ety are secn in many different ways. Some of us may sec them as pensioners or old codgers and the politically correct may describe them as chronologically challenged. They are of course our parents, brothers, sisters and our lovers, and in many cases make up the wiser demo- graphic group of our popula- tion. Why then do so many give up on their physical well-being and the challenges and enjoyment fitness and NORTH SHORE HAWKS SOCCER CLUB North Shore Hawks Soccer Club is holding open practices Mondays, # Wednesdays, anc Fridays throughout August.

Whether vou’re 50, 65 or 90 you don’t have the time not to take better care of your own physiology, thereby prolonging the quantity and quality of your life. There are older individuals living full, vital lives without the use of disabled parking spots or motorized scooters to get around. Obviously some older folk need special con- siderations, but I wonder how many would find it nec- essary to use these aids today if they had been in excellent physical condition through- out their adulthood. So, whether you're young or old, male or female, an clite athlete or a weekend warrior. Get out there and start pumping some iron. Before you know it you'll be as fit as the proverbial butch- cr’s dog! And, just in case you need a final word of encourage- ment, remember the old adage: “If you always do what you’ve always done, then you'll always be what you’ve been”. .
