Meet Sylvia Landrum
From Back Pain and Back Surgery to Medicine Ball Tosses!
Sylvia Landrum has an amazing life story. She has done so many things in life from flying planes to becoming a craft master. With all that life has thrown her way, her body was in rough shape. Surgeries and medicine helped repair many injuries and joints, but she started to lose her ability to move, have energy, and even happiness (it is tough to live with an immobile body that hurts all the time)!
When I first met Sylvia she had a tough time walking short distances. Her body was failing her! She needed to try something different to get her body back. I am glad she gave my fitness methods a try. Sylvia eagerly jumped into functional-based fitness and scientifically backed core/ back conditioning. I remember how she responded quickly. She always came to class ready to work and never backed down from a challenging exercise. She pushed herself, despite having multiple back surgeries and joint replacements. At the same time, she followed the right order and methods to get her body ready for more advanced exercise. She did the therapy work too!

Many people are fearful to get back into their favorite activities and movements after joint replacement. Sadly this situation actually weakens the joint replacement because the bones and muscles at the site become atrophied and weak. Therefore, a simple fall can be devastating. Sylvia has not allowed this to be her fate!
Sylvia says it all in the video! It has been amazing seeing her get her function back against the odds. It has not always been a smooth ride, but she never gave up. For the rest of her life she can look back and be proud of how she overcame doctor after doctor’s grave prognosis. She know has the knowledge, skill, and motivation to keep going. I am proud of you Sylvia! Stay strong, happy, and healthy!
