 Last month, we celebrated the third anniversary of our S+ Studio on Nuns’ Island. For the occasion, our team welcomed over a hundred guests for a friendly wine and cheese party in our bright location on Pointe-Sud. S+ members took the opportunity to share the benefits of their training with other members while newcomers discovered the S+ approach through mini-demonstrations. Before drawing door prizes, Randall Lightbown, Founder and Head Trainer of S+, outlined the context that led to the creation of the S+ strength training program: I have always wanted to develop a simpler and faster, but also safer and more effective way to help people take control of their bodies and their lives. I have designed the S+ program following 15 years of experience in the health field as a certified coach and massage therapist. This type of training can be beneficial, regardless of your physical condition and age—the proof is that our clients are between 40 and 99 years old!
How do I recommend a friend? It’s simple, talk to your trainer at your next session. It pays to be stronger! The S+ team Terms & Conditions:

At S+ Studio, we do things differently. No loud music, no wall-to-wall mirrors. We have only ten exercise machines, so there aren’t a lot of people in the studio at the same time. All sessions are private. Just you and your assistant throughout the whole session. Assistant? Not trainer or coach? Yes, the people who take you through your exercise routine are certified personal trainers and kinesiologists, but we think of them as your assistants. They guide you, assist you, and encourage you. They don't push you, guilt you, or intimidate you into doing something that doesn't feel right for you. No pain no gain? NO THANKS.
We all know exercise is important, but what's more important is actually doing it! With a private session every time, you'll feel motivated to meet with your assistant. Of course, we know life gets busy sometimes. No sweat! We have a flexible scheduling program that allows you to work your sessions around your weekly schedule. Our clients stick to the S+ program because they want to, and they can! Sure, they love the changes in the way they look and feel after only a few weeks on the program. But what they love even more is that they stick with it. And so can you. This could very well be the exercise program you've been looking for. Try it and you may find that you also like this quiet little studio on Nuns' Island. We've been training clients since 2011 and have been on Nuns' Island since 2015. We're in a quiet corner on the south point. Try it once for free, no strings attached. Then, if you like it, chose one of our trial two-week packages to get the full S+ experience. Call us. We'll find a convenient time for you to drop by for a visit. We think you’ll enjoy it. The S+ Team It is now well-known that strength training leads to very important biological changes in trained people, whatever the age. Numerous studies, experts, and health organizations have examined the subject and concluded that strength training plays a crucial role not only in maintaining good health, but also in improving it substantially. Strength training addresses the musculoskeletal system. Here are a few interesting examples of how starting a strength training regimen could help improve your health and how things really work. 1. You're more muscular than you think
Points worth retaining: 30 to 40% of your weight is muscle mass. Everybody should maintain a good muscle mass but people over 50 should definitely do so in order to limit the adverse effects of losing muscle. 2. Energy stores If we dive in a little deeper and examine muscle tissue, we find that muscles are formed by tiny fibres, also called muscle cells. The number of fibres a muscle has varies a lot depending on its size: it's no secret that leg muscles are much larger than arm muscles and we could expect them to have a greater number of fibres. These cells, like all cells in your body, have in them what we call mitochondria. Mitochondria are the power plants of a cell and allow the cells to take a nutrient, break it down and create energy. Needless to say, muscle fibres are very energy-hungry and require good, healthy mitochondria in order to be able to contract and allow us to move. Luckily, studies have shown that strength training improves mitochondria function[2]. Other studies have also shown that regular high intensity resistance training improves glycogen storage capacity - glycogen being a very potent source of energy for your muscles[3]. These two mechanisms help to explain how strength training makes people more energetic! Points worth retaining: strength training will increase your energy level by improving both your mitochondrial function and your muscle cells' capacity to store glycogen. 3. Thermoregulation
Points worth retaining: strength training comes with an increase in muscle mass, which comes with a better ability to generate heat and to maintain a normal body temperature, which is particularly important in the elderly. 4. Muscles are nothing without the nervous syste
5. It's very adaptable To me, the most interesting fact is that this whole system is adaptable. In other words, we now have the knowledge, the equipment and the methods to fully improve our health in unimaginable ways, with as little as 30 minutes per week. A vast number of studies have shown the benefits of a high-effort protocol, involving fewer visits to the gym and aiming for a small number of high quality workouts rather than a large number of poor quality workouts. Points worth retaining: you can always improve your health, no matter your age. Always keep in mind that muscle tissue is perhaps the most important aspect to work on as you get older but rest assured, great benefits await those who want to improve their health through strength training.

| Getting together with friends for a good laugh, playing a good game of cards or going to the movies or a museum, are all very important leisure activities for our health. But what happens when we are too tired, or don't feel we have the strength to go out and do these things? We can't participate. |  |
What can we do to keep our energy levels up so we can do those activities that lift up our spirits? Exercise! But not just any exercise. Special exercises that increase our strength and energy levels. The Simply Stronger team knows how important it is to keep doing the kinds of leisure activities we love to do.
That is why we offer programs and treatments designed to keep your energy (and spirits) high!
Leisure: more than a relaxing activity
Whether they are artistic, academic or sports, your leisure activities enrich your daily life. They are one of the most determining factors of your psychological well-being.
Express your values and personality
Whether you prefer an "introverted" activity, such as the study of an exciting subject, or an "outgoing" activity, like learning to dance (or boxing?), Your hobbies reflect your curiosity and express your personality. A leisure is not an obligation, it is a pleasure that stimulates you ... both physically and intellectually.
Energize your relationships
Interactions we have with others are often limited to talking about the weather or daily tasks. But deeper exchanges we have with those who share a common interest are essential to our social and psychological health. And leisure activities are rich in social interactions. They give you the opportunity to meet new people, learn new things, meet challenges and surpass yourself.
Choose significant leisure activities
We need to be stimulated. In a learning situation, we often have to take reach a goal. What a great opportunity to stand out and demonstrate the fruits of our labors. A hard to master dance step or an hard exercise to perform, are an incomparable sources of satisfaction the first time we can finally do it! This feeling of accomplishment that becomes a regular part of our lives, because a source of rejuvenation!
Enhance your physical health
Only a healthy body can allow the brain to pursue intellectual passions. Our curiosity and our mental health are the spark that motivates us to move - to move forward. Hence the importance of including in your leisure; an enjoyable exercise routine that will ensure the proper functioning of your body. No matter what activity you choose (walking, strengthening exercises, Tai Chi, etc.), it will fuel your physical and psychological resilience in all spheres of your life.

I’m in pain because…
Pain is a very complex phenomenon that we are too often inclined to oversimplify with statements like:
These common misconceptions of pain contribute to making you feel helpless, when pain just won’t go away. A distorted perception of being fragile and vulnerable triggers an anxiety that can push you to avoid any form of activity.
Pain is:
Physical, mental and social integrity?
Pain is highly influenced by your cultural beliefs, your education, your thoughts, your social environment and even the place where you are at the moment an incident contributes to your pain. The severity and duration of your pain will depend on these factors. References confirming this fact are abundant!
For example, a person who has been providing care for weeks to a bedridden family member suffering from acute lower-back pain can later have a « severe painful reaction » when he or she hurts her back. Having witnessed acute pain can create a conditioning effect to reproduce the symptoms. Here’s another example: Instead of reassuring a patient, a positive diagnosis for a herniated disc can lead to an unexpected surge of anxiety (deleterious effect) which will increase the intensity of the pain experienced.
Multifactorial causes and solutions
Depending on the degree of injury, the healing process will generally take from 6 to 9 months. Beyond that period, pain can become chronic. It will be less and less associated to the original injury. The tissues having healed, pain is no longer considered to be a reliable indication of your health condition. And, if you
maintain these protection schemes, they will become maladaptive habits that will encourage overt expression of pain. Realizing, and most importantly understanding that pain is not a reliable indicator, will allow you to:
Arthrosis, arthritis or a herniated disc… are at the source of my pain
Although these conditions can affect people of all ages, they are signs of normal body wear. Sometimes they are asymptomatic. In other cases, they cause pain difficult to avoid. Here are some means (supported by many studies) that have proven to be effective:

I’m in pain because…
Pain is a very complex phenomenon that we are too often inclined to oversimplify with statements like:
- I injured myself
- I think I damaged this or that
- I know I have bad posture
- I have an old injury that didn’t heal well
- I have arthrosis, arthritis or a herniated disc …
These common misconceptions of pain contribute to making you feel helpless, when pain just won’t go away. A distorted perception of being fragile and vulnerable triggers an anxiety that can push you to avoid any form of activity.
Pain is:
- a complex multi-factorial phenomenon not restricted to the state of health of your bones, your muscles, your heart or your body tissues
- a sophisticated alarm system committed to protecting you from danger, be it real or potential
- a phenomenon that emerges from the depths of the human conscience, that contributes to preserve your physical, mental and social integrity
Physical, mental and social integrity?
Pain is highly influenced by your cultural beliefs, your education, your thoughts, your social environment and even the place where you are at the moment an incident contributes to your pain. The severity and duration of your pain will depend on these factors. References confirming this fact are abundant!

- move and exercise without worrying about compromising the integrity of your body’s tissues
- understand that the intensity will vary from day to day, depending on how tired or stressed you are
- be confident that you’re not weakened and therefore lead a more active life, despite the pain
- be more self-reliant to manage perceived pain.
Arthrosis, arthritis or a herniated disc… are at the source of my pain
Although these conditions can affect people of all ages, they are signs of normal body wear. Sometimes they are asymptomatic. In other cases, they cause pain difficult to avoid. Here are some means (supported by many studies) that have proven to be effective:
- exercising, a restful sleep, a healthy diet and a moderate exposure to stress
- an active and rewarding social life
- the support of resource persons (family, friends, health professionals) during episodes of acute pain
- a contact with nature will contribute to your wellbeing and reduce the perceived pain’s intensity.

Did you know that one plus one are more than two when it comes to diabetes? It’s true!
Scientific studies have firmly concluded that when you add 1) strength (resistance) training and 2) aerobic exercise, you get more benefits to help you prevent and control Type 2 diabetes.
A study[1] of men conducted by a team of researchers from Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Southern Denmark found that:
Another study[2] team, including researchers from Harvard and the University of Southern Denmark, analyzed data from the Nurses’ Health Studies (almost 100,000 women between the ages of 36 and 81) and found that:
Health Professionals Follow-up Study
Dr. Walter Willett, chairman of the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Medicine, and his colleagues studied data on 32,000 men who were followed for almost two decades to determine their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Among their findings: even 10 minutes a day of resistance work—whether at the gym or at home doing push-ups or using resistance bands—is enough to produce a benefit.[3]
How it Works
For those with diabetes, strength training helps your body:
Both Canadian and American Diabetes Associations recommend that those with diabetes do some type of strength/resistance training two to three times a week, for example:

The strength of bone comes from its scaffolding-like structure on the inside. The more of this scaffolding there is, (bone image right) the sturdier the bone. The less there is (left) the more susceptible to fracture the bone becomes.
Osteoporosis and You—The Complete Solution: Medications, Food, and Exercise
Would you be surprised to learn that over 80% of all fractures in people 50+ are caused by osteoporosis—the deterioration and weakening of normal bone as we age?
In February, Osteoporosis Canada reported that Canadians are largely unaware about osteoporosis and the serious consequences it can have on their health, even though broken bones caused by osteoporosis are more common than heart attack, stroke and breast cancer combined for women over the age of 50.

MEDICATIONS | FOOD | EXERCISE |
| Osteoporosis medications do slow the deterioration of bone density. But these medications have side-effects. And the antidotes, used long-term, may themselves increase your risks of bone loss, falls and fractures. | Make sure that you eat foods that contain enough calcium, protein, and vitamin D. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A REGISTERED DIETITIAN LIKE: Danielle Lévesque at Espace Santé IDS to find out which foods are best for you! CLICK HERE OR CALL: 514-798-2228 | EXCERCISE! Weight-bearing exercises strengthen your muscles, improve your balance, and increase your bone density. It’s all scientifically proven! |
STRONG MUSCLES |  |
Medications may cause bone loss, falls, and/or fractures, including :
- Glucocorticoid pills (e.g., prednisone) (bone loss)
- Breast cancer drugs (bone loss and increased risk of fractures)
- Excessive thyroid hormone replacement (muscle weakness increasing risk of falls and fractures)
- Blood pressure medication (risk of falls increasing risk of fractures)
- Diuretics (reduced bone mineral density at the hip and increasing risk of fractures at the beginning of treatment)
- Prostate drugs (increased risk of falls and hip fracture in first month of treatment)
- Heparin - anticoagulant (long-term use may reduce bone density)

Sleep and Exercise versus Medications:
Do we take too much medicine?
The answer is yes! The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued serious warnings concerning the over-consumption of medicines in developed countries.
In Canada, most seniors are taking at least 5 prescription medicines, according to a report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).
And Dr. Robert Salois, Quebec’s Health and Welfare Commissioner, reported in March 2015 that the use of medications that Quebecers take is not always optimal, as “inappropriate prescribing has been observed” leading to situations where “the risks of adverse effects outweigh the expected benefits.” 1

NOT IN THE HABIT OF DOING REGULAR EXERCISE?
If you don’t have the habit of regular exercise, it’s best to start slowly with a program like Simply Stronger.
 | Simply Stronger will give you a good foundation and will allow you to gradually increase your level of activity. You’ll sleep better, and that will help you reduce the amount of medication you’re taking. The side effects of medication and the harm it can do to the body will not improve your quality of life, but exercise surely will! |

http://www.simplystronger.ca/demonstration.html
I specialize in teaching strength training to people over 50 who want to start doing something that will help prevent the health related problems that come with aging. Keeping our muscles strong can prevent many age related health problems. Some serious diseases but also some simple things such as going up and down stairs, or getting up out of a chair! This could be important for you, or maybe someone you know - your mother or father perhaps, or grandparent? Doing a strength training program like Simply Stronger is the best way to start getting physically active. The program is one-on-one private training and takes each person's specific needs into account. You start out very slowly and go progressively at your own pace. Strength training is probably the most important part of exercise. Starting with a program like Simply Stronger is probably the best thing you can choose to do for your health.
Hope to see you there!

Strength training is probably the most important part of exercise. Starting with a program like Simply Stronger is probably the best thing you can choose to do for your health.
Hope to see you there!
