SO 50 studio |
Many
of you have heard me talk about the new exercise studio I joined back
in May. It has changed my life! It is called Strong Over 50, or SO 50
for short. It is in Sugarhouse, on 11th East and 13th
South. It uses a new suspension system that is geared towards older
people but benefits all ages. Instead of lifting weights it makes you
use your own body weight as resistance, and the bar gives extra
stability. I have lost 11 lbs but more importantly I have reshaped my
body and greatly increased my energy and stamina. I used to spend 12
to 14 hours in bed each day before starting this program and was hard
put to get in one workout a week. Now I workout 3 times a week (for
an hour each time) and am incorporating cardio workouts on my own
(although I overdid it, of course and had to cut back on all workouts
for a few days) I now am ready to jump out of bed after 9 hours of
rest and am buying new clothes.

Jordan
Smith is one of the two owner/trainers. Here he is with his puppy
Stitch, which he brings in on Fridays because we (the clients) insist
on it. He (the puppy, not Jordan) licks our toes and faces while we
work out and we love it.
