She Found the Sweetest Motivation


Renee Rose knows precisely why and when she decided to start exercising regularly.

 

And telling the story brings a tear to her eye.

 

Last Thanksgiving her family rented a bounce house for the grandkids. Renee had looked forward to playing in it with the little ones, but she quickly lost her breath and had to leave.

 

“I was really upset,” recalls Renee, a nurse who’s now 59 and had gained weight over the last year or two. “I couldn’t do the things that I wanted to do. It was at that moment I decided I’ve got to change.”

 

She started working out after the holidays and hasn’t looked back.

 

“The best thing I ever did was walk through those doors,” says Renee, a veteran nurse.

 

Previously, everyday chores had been growing more difficult. She got winded walking up the stairs. Most importantly, she couldn’t play with her grandkids on the floor like she longed to do.

 

She’s working out three times a week in small group personal training.

 

And in just a few months, Renee’s doctor has taken her off one medication and hopes to drop another soon. Her stamina is up. Her clothes are too big.

 

She’s even doing burpees and squats.

 

Big Plans for a Big Birthday

 

And for her 60th birthday, Renee is planning “something physical” like rock climbing, ziplining, or white-water rafting.

 

It could be a celebration to match the family’s Fourth of July. They rented a tall water slide for the kids, and Renee put memories of the bounce house behind her. She went up and down the slide with her granddaughter tirelessly, over and over.

 

“She came up to me with her little arms up and said, ‘Again, Nana.’ It was the best. I want to cry just talking about it.

 

“It was so much fun and made me feel good having that time with her. You want to be there for them. You don’t want to be the Nana in the rocking chair. Not at 60.”

 

A Powerful Motivation for Many

 

What type of grandparent do you want to be?

 

The strong and healthy kind that plays with the grandkids -- or the frail, retreating kind that sits and watches, instead?

 

Studies show that being an active, involved grandparent is one of the most common and powerful motivations for millions of people to exercise regularly.

 

· Today’s grandparents want to share experiences with the grandkids, not just buy them things.

· Almost 70% live within 50 miles.

· And polls show that grandparenting stands out as one of the most positive aspects of later life.

 

Strength makes all the difference as we age. Humans lose muscle as we age unless we practice resistance training to maintain muscle. Without it, we get to the point where we simply can’t do much of anything.

 

We love Renee’s example!
