Gwenda Hose

Gwenda is almost 83 and still going strong.

Gwenda grew up on a farm and has always lived a pretty active life. She’s also trained at a few different gyms around Warrnambool over the years.

About three years ago, she came to Body Blitzer with a group of friends and they’ve been training together ever since, usually followed by a coffee afterwards.

At almost 83, Gwenda still gardens, travels and is involved in community work.

She also has arthritis and osteoporosis, along with a few issues with her knee and glute, so there are things we need to work around with her training.

For Gwenda, staying active is about being able to keep doing the things she enjoys and maintaining her independence as she gets older.

I think there’s a good lesson in that for anyone over 50 who knows they probably need to start doing something but keeps putting it off because they’re nervous or don’t know where to begin.

You don’t need to do anything crazy.

You just need to start somewhere and find something you can keep doing.
