Post Surgical Back Pain to Mission Trip

I first met this amazing lady named Sylvia 3+ years ago. When we first started working together, she was quickly losing her ability to walk because of back pain (post surgical back pain). She could barely walk to her mailbox and was getting used to the idea of using a walker and wheelchair.

A few months after she started training with me her pain greatly decreased and she got her ability to walk back. Sylvia was so happy to stand on her own two feet again! She turned into a long term client and continues to progress in her fitness despite some setbacks and challenges.

She is now fit enough to pursue one of her dreams. Sylvia went on an international mission trip.

I received this email when she was out of the country:

“We are back from building our first house! I want you to know I kept up with everyone! I’ll have pictures when everyone shares their photos. We carried all the tools hat we needed to build the house: two ladders, three drills, chain saw, skill saw, hammers, shovel, three post hole diggers, hammers, nails, etc. The tin and wood were already on site. The hill was a “road” with LOTS of deep ruts, very slippery, it had poured the night before, 200-300 yards long, VERY steep. The guys said it was probably longer that two football fields. I carried a hoe/pick about 6 foot long, which helped me from slipping. It must have weight 10-20 pounds. This was going down. I didn’t carry anything but my back pack climbing back up, It was harder to breathe coming back up, then I learned we were 7,000 ft about sea level! But I kept up with everyone pretty good. I recovered quickly anyway!
I would never had made it without your exercises! Thank you for that!
The first day it poured going to the mission house about 1:30 drive. And like normal, in a third world country, when it really storms the power goes out, so we could not shower, flush toilets, no WiFi, etc. But it came on about 2:30 in the morning. WiFi came on a little later. Supper is ready for us now, we have WiFi here at the mission house.

Hi to everyone!”

Tom Gets His Strength, Flexibility, and Balance Back

When I first met Tom, he was stuck in a routine that was not producing great results. Much of what he did was seated weight machines. He did get stronger, but he did not improve his flexibility and balance. In addition, the type of strength training he was doing did not transfer well to real life (functional strength).

I find that people that do have the motivation to go to gym on a regular basis often get stuck in a routine, which limits their progress. Breaking habits wins the day again when you want results!

Tom has been training in my Real Age Reduction large group for over a year. It has been a pleasure watching him and his wife gain much better fitness over time.
