Want to Get Stronger???
We all begin to lose some muscle mass in our 30s or 40s. This process accelerates in our 60s and beyond when we lose as much as 8% of muscle mass each decade. Of course, there's no way to stop the passage of time, but we can absolutely slow it down. There's no reason why you can't be stronger and more fit tomorrow than you are today.
The research clearly shows that adding resistance training to your wellness program has a very positive effect on your muscle mass, bone density, balance and coordination.
Benefits of Resistance Training
Over the years I've found that many of my patients, often older adults, tend to avoid adding resistance to their exercise. They're either uncertain about proper form, or they're concerned about injuring themselves. If this describes you, then you may benefit by having some coaching.
Learning proper form, breathing, how to progress/regress an exercise, and understanding how to slowly and safely build your capacity, will empower you to take advantage of all the benefits of strength training:
- Maintain joint health, good balance, bone mass and muscle density
- Prevent falls and other injuries by building resilience
- Increase your capacity for everyday activities
- Stimulate your metabolism / Weight loss
- Enhance your athletic ability and your mood
- Rehab an old injury
- Have greater overall strength and vitality
Live Online Zoom Classes or Live One-on-One coaching
If you’d like to do some strength training but can’t get to the gym, don't feel like you have the experience to do it on your own, or if you're just having difficulty motivating yourself...then please join our small group for our weekly class. We meet every Wednesday morning on Zoom at 11:00 for a one-hour class. The fee for a 6-week session is only $85.
We work on stretching, strength training, balance training, and core strength. You'll learn proper form, exercise variations, how to exercise safely, and you'll gain the confidence to do resistance training on your own, if you choose.
You'll also receive a link to a recording of each weekly class. This is perfect if you ever have to miss a class or if you just want to do an additional class on another day.
Would you like to join us? Do you have questions? If so, email me at drcharno@gmail.com or call 516-316-4589 to discuss.
I’ve seen patients of all ages truly transform themselves with resistance training. Please join us!

Dr. Charno is amazing. I feel like I should wait to review until I have had more than one appointment, but as someone who has had almost 40 years of chiropractic care, I know when I have found someone great. Dr. Charno is not only knowledgeable, experienced and talented, but has a powerful healing demeanor. I have seen countless doctors for my MS, but after one session I feel better than I have in years.

A talented healer, and a great listener. I've known Dr. Charno for decades, and am thrilled that he has relocated his practice to the Mid-Hudson Valley. He treated me yesterday using Graston technique, and it really helped sooth and release a nagging muscle injury. His practice is part of the lovely Izlind Wellness Center in Rhinebeck.

Dr. Charno is hands down the best chiropractor I’ve been to. He genuinely cares about his patients and takes extra time to ask questions, understand pain, and develop action plans to relieve symptoms. He’s open minded and looks at issues from all angles, performing informed adjustments and following up with workouts and stretches to reinforce them. He is personable, caring, and an all-around wonderful doctor. I would recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Charno has literally gotten me through months of quarantine. His online strength training classes have me stronger and healthier than I was six months ago. When it became possible, I began seeing him in his office and found a comprehensive and holistic approach to chiropractic. His treatment is state of the art and includes specific exercises to reinforce the adjustment. He always follows up with online exercise reminder videos. Bottom line is that Dr. Charno is a caring, effective, healer.

I have stated to Dr. Charno that prehab for joint replacement should indicate strength training just as rehab requires physical therapy. Dr. Charno has the expertise of Chiropractic and sports injuries. I am looking forward to becoming a Dr. Charno Chiropractor patient!

I have MS, scoliosis, and a lot of wear and tear from being a gymnastics coach for many years. Needless to say, I have a lot of issues. Dr. Charno has not only met my challenges with ease, but has changed my life. Because of him I am no longer in constant pain. I even stopped having to use a cane since seeing him regularly. If I ever have to move, I hope it is commutable to Rhinebeck so that I can forever see Dr. Russell Charno for chiropractic care.

I suffered years of degenerating function. One visit to Russell Charno, DC, restored at least 70% of my mobility. Unlike other chiropractic offices, this doc only sees one patient at a time. My appointments are always intensive, more than an hour and 100% hands-on. I have experienced ongoing improvement. I now take CrossFit classes because I have my mobility back.
