Meet 85 year old Kettlebell Coach - Wally Chute

By

Next time you're thinking you may be too old to commit to a training program or get started, I want you to think about Wally Chute, an active Kettlebell coach and lucky for me, a loyal subscriber to my newsletter/ articles. I figured it was time I highlight Wally for you all, to give you a little inspiration, to show you what you can accomplish and how powerful this well rounded training really is.  Then when you're done reading about Mr. Chute, check out a few announcements below! I always welcome feedback and comments. Thanks for reading! 

Meet Wally:


My name is Wally Chute, a certified 85 year old “kettlebell/bodyweight hybrid” instructor where, in earlier years, I taught  various other classes such as TBC (Total Body Conditioning), Boot camp, and a Medicine Ball class I assembled, where I filled our ballroom with participants (Fun, but still something missing)



As soon as the kettlebell gained momentum after Pavel’s introduction around 2001, I knew I could be on to something…I began studying the benefits and techniques not long afterwards, and then introduced the kettlebell to our seniors about 15 years ago…  

 

It started to gain momentum little by little as, yes, even our seniors began to see for themselves the benefits of training with a tool that emphasizes TOTAL “body conditioning“…I was careful to illustrate the basics very slowly and in detail…(Still do)…I could then incorporate bodyweight exercises which I feel complement the kettlebell beautifully…I also integrate specific balance exercises along with a cool down where we include both static and dynamic stretching (so important for seniors)

 

All my current classes include what I call the SUPERFECTA: CARDIO, STRENGTH TRAINING, BALANCE, AND FLEXIBILITY (STRETCHING)….In addition, I make certain each class includes the 3 planes of motion: Sagittal, Frontal, & transverse…

 

I have 14 versions of my class but the essential foundation exercises are included each session…Love to include Interval (Tabata), AMRAPS, Flows, etc. for some variety…I don’t want anyone to feel bored…

 

 At 85, if I can inspire more SENIORS to begin/continue their journey to a more healthy aging, then my time is well spent…The more participants the better!!!...I just abhor the declining health of so many seniors…It just doesn’t have to be that way!!!...

 I like to tell all my seniors that CONSISTENCY is key….A few seniors work out CONSISTENTLY and they usually become very good at it!...However, on the other hand, many seniors CONSISTENTLY make excuses, and they then become very good at that!!!


Thanks Lauren, you are the best…LOVE YOUR ARTICLES!!...Wally Chute

What Doctor's don't tell you after a C-section

By
I have now been through 2 C-sections since writing this blog post and thankfully I've recovered beautifully from both with the appropriate progressions. For those who are new and are just finding me. WELCOME! First let me say I did NOT want a C-section. I did everything in my power to avoid the first and even the second. I'm a kettlebell fitness strength and conditioning coach who relies on her body to share, teach, educate, and I was under the impression that having to give birth via C-section would and could destroy my body and career. Boy was I wrong! If you're feeing the same way, start by reading this article I wrote many years ago that still applies today! Many people have asked and here is part of my experience.  I don't claim to be a medical expert but not only have I successfully healed my C-section, my abdominals are no longer numb, and I've successfully helped others who've had multiple C-sections (even some 20 years ago) find their core aga...
