Functional Fitness, Core Stability-Strength Training, Pilates-based Exercises, Seniors

Lee Taylor - Personal Trainer Albany CA

Lee integrates Pilates-based exercises emphasizing core strengthening as his foundation, utilizing Gym Balls and Resistance Bands with Muscle Release Techniques and T'ai Chi. His exercise programs are designed to improve balance, strength, agility and coordination.

Each exercise program focuses on functional fitness. The goal is to achieve and maintain our capability to do real-life activities in real-life situations. The key to functional exercise is about teaching muscles to work together rather than isolating them to work independently.

All balance and movement starts in your core or torso; therefore, you begin with core training or core conditioning. The torso's role is to transfer force, produce power, link lower body to upper, and stabilize. It is the center of all body movement. The stronger the core, the more stable and efficient the movement.

Lee is no stranger to chronic and debilitating pain. His personal quest to relieve pain, restore wellness and optimize health motivated his lifelong study of body mechanics Now, he says, "the absence of pain ... is pleasure".

Experienced as an educator, former college athlete, coach and exercise consultant, Lee empowers you to exercise independently. His goal is to provide you with the understanding and exercise tools to:
  • Improve posture and balance
  • Reduce the risk of injury
  • Identify muscle imbalances
  • Stretch and strengthen muscles
  • Release tight muscles and surrounding tissue
  • Re-educate, retrain and restore wellness
Lee´s personally planned exercises are suitable for all physical conditions including seniors, frequent and occasional exercisers, rehabilitation patients and well-trained athletes. ( see photos )
