My mom really started getting into fitness when she retired. It's kind of cute to see her put on her backpack and bike helmet and ride off into town to go do her exercises at the gym. It gives me an idea of what she must have been like at 10 years old.
But what if my mom wasn't internally motivated? What if I had to find a trainer for her?
Would it be best to ask "Beach Bunny Betty" to train her... or would she be better off with someone closer to her age?
Researchers from the University of Texas put 131 subjects through a 14-week, trainer-led fitness program. Half the subjects worked with a trainer who was in their peer group, while the other half worked with student trainers. Surprisingly, only the peer-trained group had significantly improved physical, mental, and social function at the end of the 14 weeks.
So if you are thinking of buying some training sessions for your mom or dad, don't bother with the cardio cutie or young-buck bodybuilder. Get a peer trainer for your parents for better results.
