Strong @ 50 & Beyond (Basic)
myHealthCoach
General FitnessAthletes over the age of 50 require different training modalities compared to younger athletes.
More emphasis on movement, mobility and flexibility is needed, as well as training the body as a whole and not in individual parts.
My strength & conditioning plan for athletes at 50 or beyond has been designed through coaching senior athletes. And through my own training (yes I am over 50).
My training has changed over the last few years, with a combination of hard training sessions and a good amount of recovery.
This training plan will help maintain and improve your overall body strength, increase mobility, increase cardiovascular fitness and provide the suppleness that we need as we age.

Chris Deavin
Chris has been working as a Strength & Conditioning coach for over 20 years so brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the training arena. From gaining a Bachelor of Science in Strength & Conditioning from St Mary's University, London, Chris has worked with professional sports teams and athletes ranging from rugby, taekwondo, triathlon and ultra-marathons.
Getting older is no excuse for becoming weaker. If you are someone starting back after many years of inactivity or if you are someone who trains but is following a plan for someone a lot younger, then my basic training plan for 50 & beyond is ideal.

Tony Isbell
Open Water Swimmer, Crosscountry Biker
Verified Athlete"I have been working with Chris for over 3 years now. Which has allowed me to keep doing what I love best, outdoor pursuits without getting injured. Without the training plan Chris has got me on, I would be still struggling with long-term injuries and paying a fortune to a physio."
Stu McCarthy
Golfer, Swimmer
Verified Athlete"Since turning 50 and working with Chris, I have become stronger than at any time in my life. Chris has taught me that no matter what age you are, through hard work and good planning, you can achieve any goal you want."
Pat Waters
Weekend Warrior, Vet Baseball Player
Verified Athlete"After many years of not playing sports, I hired Chris to help me get back into training so I could build a good level of strength and fitness before getting back in the arena. I am now back to competing at a high level, even tho I am now over 50. I have got my youth back."
