I am doing things I never thought I would do with you every day! When I first started yoga and weights in Denver years ago, I could only do sculpt with 3 lb weights, and now I own a whole rack of weights AND use them!
I am 57 years old and have been working out with Dawnelle for almost 2 years. My prior exercise program included CrossFit and a seldom yoga class (since my body was always so tight). My biggest fear from lifting much lighter weights in AgeDEFY is that I would lose my arm muscles. I am pleasantly surprised that my arms have more definition since doing AgeDEFY!
I think I have taken all the different classes on the schedule at some point, except cycle. Over time, I've gained both strength and flexibility. I honestly cannot believe how strong my legs are and how I can feel that in everything I do. I love mobility flow and will do the 5-10 minute workouts if I notice my back isn't feeling great. I love barre a lot, and it helps especially when my knees don't feel great. My back is so much more open and my backbends and dropbacks are back. One of my yoga teachers told me my arch in urdvha danurasana is the best it's ever been last week. I have been practicing yoga more now that I'm back into a good exercise routine, but I couldn't have gotten here with yoga alone.
I also love that the classes provide the opportunity to move with more intensity without going too far. It encourages me to work hard and differently, but still intuitively.
“AgeDEFY has been an incredible journey of self-discovery! AgeDEFY and Dawnelle have taught me to embrace necessary change in mind and body! I look forward to Dawnelle’s daily inspirations and videos! She is my North Star ⭐️️️️ in my journey! My guide to a better me!!! Some days in life are harder than others and on those days she reminds me it’s one step at a time, one movement at a time and before I know it- I’ve done it! Dawnelle is thorough, patient and the best at challenging you to be the best version of yourself! I have been blessed and inspired and I have come out stronger than when I started! WU WEI”
“I just want to give you a quick THANK YOU! I'm a new mom who was having seizing back pain (left, mid-back) that would stop me in my tracks. I'm sure it was from carrying my son on one side only. I could barely twist or lift him without pain. I first found your youtube video ageDEFY movement therapy to keep you feeling young. Since then I have been doing your mobility flow workouts. I am ONLY on day 7 and feel like a new person!! As a former massage therapist, I can tell you are retraining our fascia. I often yell at the screen, "She's a genius!" Haha! thank you for doing what you do, I am a happier, healthier me : )”
