Today is Mum's and my third personal training session at the gym. Actually, it's more of a physical therapy session for Mum, and I just tag along for some playtime at the gym to stoke my muscles.
Coach Faizal teaches strength fitness, Zumba and spin cycling (he also owns a spin studio). He also offers Qun therapy.
Mum has tried just about every treatment available for her body aches and pains, but unfortunately, none has managed to get rid of the pain completely. Leaving no stone unturned, she's now giving Qun therapy a try.
So far, the results have been quite promising. She feels noticeably better immediately after each therapy session, although the aches and pains are still there. Doctors, physiotherapists and acupuncturists have all told her that some of these pains may be something she'll have to live with. However, the various therapies, together with regular exercise, can help manage the discomfort and prevent her condition from deteriorating further.
By keeping active every day, doing strength training and even joining Zumba sessions, Mum is also doing her part to maintain her muscle strength, bone health and mobility as she gets older.
And honestly, seeing Mum's condition is one of the reasons I'm even more determined to stay committed to strength training and weightlifting. I want to keep my muscles and bones strong for as long as I can. After all, prevention is better than cure, and I certainly don't want to wait until I start having aches and pains before taking my strength training seriously!
