About this listen
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that ageism shows up in gyms and fitness classes.
Why wouldn’t it?
Ageism is a prejudice carried in the minds of people. So, if a fitness instructor leans that way, then his or her classes will reflect that in the workout.
“You shouldn’t pick up that big dumbbell. Try the little one, dear.”
Our guest this week on The Art 2 Aging is Erin Eleu, a functional aging specialist, whose mission is to highlight ageism in the fitness world.
But more than that, Erin walks her talk; her own fitness classes for older adults are designed to intentionally challenge internalized ageism, as well.
