Through exercise routines consisting of standing balancing exercises, vision exercises, water therapy, walking, stationary cycling, yoga, pilates, tai chi and basic strength exercises they can accomplish increased muscle  strength, bone strength and their ability to walk and move.   By keeping them active and physically strong improves their overall quality of life.

Being a fitness trainer allows me to share my knowledge and experience with others and it also keeps me focused, balanced and organized.
