From the intensive care unit to the stage: Mara Eder masters bodybuilding and senior care
In the Hellmonsödt retirement home, Mara Eder, the dynamic director and bodybuilding-loving, has caused a sensation. In the competitions of the Austrian Naturel Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation in early October in Linz, she successfully participated in the Masters class. Despite her successes, Eder shows in a remarkable way that senior care and bodybuilding are literally not opposing worlds. "I'm seven kilos over the stage weight again," she ponderes in conversation.
In preparation for her competitions,has dealt with a strict nutrition plan and targeted training. Her next appearance is planned for autumn 2026, for which she now wants to grow between three and six kilograms of muscle mass. "This is very acceptable for a woman my age," she says, adding that she enjoys strengthening your upper body and back when training, while training the legs and buttocks are not your preferred exercises. Despite the challenges in everyday life, she has a good grip on her eating habits.
professional career and commitment in the retirement home
Before she took over the retirement home, Eder worked in intensive care for over two decades in the stroke station of the Wagner-Jauregg hospital. This intensive activity asked her a lot, but she decided to study personnel management in part -time. "When I started in the retirement home, some employees may have become skeptical about what a studied Linzer wants in such an environment," reflects Eder. Despite initial concerns, she quickly made a name for herself and won the trust of the 110 employees.
The Hellmonsödter retirement home is currently home to 88 residents, and demand is increasing. Eder proudly emphasizes: "We are the only retirement home in the district that grows." Her committed leadership shows that the combination of professional devotion and personal interests, such as bodybuilding, is possible and inspires.
