Ripped Grandma
Supporting a Wellness Culture
for Active Women and Men Over 60!
You are not too old,
And it is not too late!
The Ripped Grandma understands that hiring a personal trainer to help you with your balance, strength, or functional movement, can be an intimidating task. It doesn’t have to be. I offer an inviting, low key, and balanced approach to help you get the results you want. That doesn’t mean it won’t be challenging! But everyone of our challenges is unique to us and the journey we have traveled. Whether you would like to see improvement in your sport game, be able to lift that suitcase out of the car, or decrease your risk of osteoporosis, minimizing injury and maximizing results is my goal for you!
Ripped Grandma Philosophy
Aging well is not just about exercise, it is a myriad of systems that come together, including movement, nutrition, sleep, stress reduction, purpose and perspective, to name a few. While we weren’t all given amazing athletic genes, (at least I wasn’t) we have the ability to change some outcomes with lifestyle choices.
Movement is the catalyst that helps with all the above, at any age! With that in mind, if you would like to move better, move more and have fun, you have come to the right place. 😊

Daily Warm Up for Max Mobility
Does it sometimes scare you, the way you move when you get out of bed in the morning? Life makes you humble, movement makes it better (in my opinion). Warming up for your workout or life, this Mobility Monday, on a Tuesday focuses on moving in three different...
The New ‘F’ Word
“Focus” its the new "F" word! We all laughed as my one coach said that last week, while we paddled our Outrigger canoe in the Monterey Bay. After all, at the end of the workout, we tend to lose focus. Sometimes at the beginning, we lose focus! How many people do I see...
Building Shoulder Strength
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.” Kelly Clarkson sings. Please, let's not take it that far! But building muscle mass is important for increasing metabolism and fighting off both bone and muscle loss as we age. One of the biggest fears that I hear when women...
Lighten the Load On The Shoulders
Shoulders get a lot of press, you can put a chip on one, look over it, or carry the weight of the world on them. None of that sounds particularly comfortable to me. The shoulder is a very moveable joint, kind of like the hip of the upper body! But unlike the hip, it...
The Hips Don’t Lie
Don’t you just love to watch little kids squat? My granddaughter gives a clear example of mobile hips and very flexible ankles! We all were able to move this way at one time! What happened? My theory is we stopped playing, we sit more and we don't use our hips the way...
