KICKS OFF 15TH MAY
Does your body not quite work the way it used to?
Does everything creak and crack in all the wrong places?
Let's face it, these days is less about looking hot in a bikini and far more about feeling strong, fit and flexible.
It's not about ageing gracefully, it's about ageing on your own goddamn terms!
You know you need to work on your mobility and strength as you are getting older.
But
maybe you have been burnt by exercises that pushed your body too hard, caused injuries and have left you worried about them doing more harm than good.
Maybe
you used to have a regular exercise routine but now it all feels too hard because you lack energy, your body aches and you are not sure what to do differently.
Perhaps
you feel like your body has been hijacked by the effects of perimenopause or menopause and you're unsure what the right exercise plan is for you.
And
you want to move in a simple yet powerfully effective way because you are busy, short on time and the thought of going to a gym and lifting weights fills you with dread.
But as we age, what we really want is to get strong, confident and fit for life.
To keep our bones and muscles strong, be fit and flexible and feel fabulous every day.
So you can do the things you love and which matter the most.
To live life to the fullest, and independently, for as long as you live.

I joined Jana's program and she has strengthened my body from head to toe. The program worked out all my issues with my spine and neck and helped immensely with areas like my knees, wrists and hips. I can’t say enough about the program.
I also just enjoyed one of my strongest snowboarding seasons in several years. This was my “aha!” moment that the only thing I had changed from the past few years was Jana's program. Her coaching through the program gives you the confidence and accountability to move just a little every day. I am excited for my seven day surf adventure, at 50!

As a 50yo former competitive runner my body was paying me back for years of overtraining with aching joints, stiffness and chronic tendon injuries. I was struggling to find training that was suited to my age and stage - but challenging enough to keep me motivated. I was constantly tired and literally hitting the snooze button on all my morning exercise plans.
All this changed when I signed up for Jana's program. I got back into a routine of training most mornings. I could feel the transformation in my flexibility and mobility as the moves became easier, and I could see I was getting more toned....and this motivated me to keep on going."
As you age, it's not uncommon to start feeling limitations in your body. Stiffness, pain and less flexibility can all make it more difficult to enjoy doing the activities you love.
When you can no longer do the things you used to, you start to feel like you are missing out on life.
Maybe you used to love hiking but now your knees hurt too much to go on long walks. Perhaps you used to love playing with your grandchildren but now you find it difficult to get yourself up and down from the floor.
To give you an example, I currently have two clients, both are 60 years old and both have become grandmothers for the first time recently.
My client Anna has never exercised and now she has no strength, suffers from osteoporosis and persistent injuries. Anna has difficulties lifting her 8-month old granddaughter from her cot. In her own words: Anna feels her body is completely useless!
Andrea, on the other hand has exercised most of her life and she has jumped into a few of my online programs. Andrea has just walked the Overland Trail in Australia and she cannot wait to take her grandson on amazing adventures when he's older.
You cannot afford to neglect your body because the consequences are just too painful 😧
(literally and figuratively).
And if this wasn't enough, there are also the age related conditions you need to consider:
👉🏼 One in two women over 50 will experience osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime (Source: International Osteoporosis Foundation)
👉🏼 Sarcopenia which is the loss of muscle mass and strength affects up to 25% of adults over the age of 50. This can lead to decreased mobility, difficulty performing daily activities and increased risk of falls and fractures. (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)
👉🏼 Osteopenia, which is a condition where bone density is lower than normal but not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis, affects around 43 million Americans aged 50 and older (National Osteoporosis Foundation)
👉🏼 Women who experience a hip fracture are at increased risk of mortality and loss of independence. In fact, approximately 20% of adults who suffer hip fracture will die within one year, and many will require long term care (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)

I had assumed that bodyweight and mobility work would be easy but I found it wonderfully challenging and enriching. It's amazing how much our bodies need to re-learn and mobility training is the perfect antidote to the aches and pains that we tend to take for granted as a natural and acceptable part of ageing. I cannot recommend Jana more highly. You won't be disappointed.

I joined Jana's mobility program when I realized I was approaching 40 and wanted to move with more ease and increase my fitness. I am no fan of traditional gyms or hard exercise, this mobility class is exactly what I wanted - simple movements but effective. Jana's coaching style is gentle and I love that she focuses on getting movements right and building on it. Highly recommend it
What your body needs, especially as it is transitioning through peri-menopause and menopause are:
Strength training so you can maintain strong bones and lean muscle mass which will stop the dreaded midlife weight gain
Cardio vascular fitness for a strong heart and lungs
Mobility and flexibility so you can move freely with no aches, pain and injuries
Agility, movement control and body awareness so you don't suffer from age related falls and fractures
Learning new movements for your brain health and neuroplasticity
Daily exercise for mental health, better mood and limitless energy
That is a lot of boxes to tick and let's not forget that exercise should be fun, enjoyable and
something you get to do
rather than have to do!
I'm a busy mum and I don't have much time to exercise. Through working with Jana, my posture and overall mobility have improved so much!
Sonja
Jana takes a fun and pragmatic approach to her training. It is refreshing to be trained as a middle aged woman and not as a beefy 20 year old male!
Marlo
This is where I come in because I would love to teach you movements and exercises that tick ALL of those boxes (and take as little time as possible)
Hey,
If we haven't met yet, I'm Jana and I'm all about making exercise fun, simple and easy to fit into your busy life.
I'm a Fitness & Movement Coach, certified TACFIT instructor, strength & conditioning coach and a qualified personal trainer.
I used to lift weights at the gym but I was always in pain and injured. And I wondered how can I be strong and fit if my workouts leave me exhausted, sore for days and frequently injured. It didn't make sense!
Then I discovered TACFIT and realised what the missing piece was - MOBILITY, STRENGTH training with perfect form and SAFE INTENSITY! Rather than chasing repetitions and quick results, I realised I need to exercise for my health & longevity.
Now I help women (and a few men) to exercise in a way that makes them strong, able to move freely, live with no pain and injuries so that they can enjoy doing the things they love for as long as they can.
I teach my clients how to squeeze daily movement into their busy lives so they can feel confident, full of energy, resilient and unstoppable!
Cultivating your fitness and health is a marathon, not a race and small consistent steps over long period of time always yield the biggest transformations!
And if that wasn't enough, I'll teach you how to exercise without any fancy equipment, an expensive gym membership and tons of time 🤯
After all, I don't have any of those either and I run 2 businesses, coach lots of clients and solo parent three children.
I don't have a lot of time yet I exercise and move my body every single day!
I'm the fittest and strongest I have ever been at 45.
I can surf for hours, keep up with my super active kids and I have more energy than I did ten years ago!
This is all because I have mastered moving & exercising in an efficient and effective way that makes my body stronger rather than injuring it repeatedly (I used to do crazy workouts that left me exhausted and sore for days 😫).
INTRODUCING
UNSTOPPABLE
A 21-day program that will help YOU build the physical strength & confidence that makes you feel unstoppable so you can enjoy the freedom to move with NO limits (and without the fear of injury) even if right now every joint cracks!
Unbeknownst to me, I took on a three hour outdoor adventure challenge far beyond what I expected. With no way to go but forward, I LOVED it all and thanked Jana in my head (and out loud) over and over for helping me rebuild my confidence in my body. We climbed over rocks, under branches, hiked hills, slid down boulders, spent two hours wading down a river ...
And though tired the next day, I was in no pain like I would have been a year ago. How sweet it is to have Jana on your team, encouraging you, keeping you safe and believing in your strength.
