I have been taking your “Get Going” Active Living Zoom exercise program for several months now and I’m absolutely delighted with the cardio and strength parts along with warm up and stretch. I have been very active in the past and have taken many levels of exercise programs. This is a very good one with excellent teachers. Leanne is a friendly, encouraging leader. She watches the participants closely to see that shoulders are down, etc. and she demonstrates each form for those sitting and standing and offers variations to each exercise. Breaking my hip two years ago significantly affected my mobility. I now use a walker when out and about and am on the list for a full knee replacement. It has been difficult to access exercise specific to my needs. Your Zoom exercise program with Leanne and Terry has been a blessing to my quality of life. I feel my body becoming stronger especially my core. My fear of falling has diminished and my confidence in going out in public has increased. Because of my reduced mobility I have been unable to exercise my heart and lungs with a good cardio workout. Your program has given me this. I am able to do cardio arm and leg sequences that I was not able to do a few months ago. When I told my doctor that I was doing your program with cardio three times a week he was suitably impressed. I am very thankful that Zoom Get Going is an important and valuable part of my life. Leanne and Terry do an exceptional job. I look forward to every class. –– Barbara C.
Great to be back from Victoria. I appreciated the balance and injury prevention exercises you have us working on. The weather was wet, cold, and windy in BC. There were many slippery roads, sidewalks, and steps we had to maneuver on our trip and your instructions/training really helped. I didn’t slip once! The standup-sit down exercises are making a difference in preventing injuries when retrieving things that have fallen plus just getting in and out of vehicles. All skills we all need! Thanks for your training. –– Donna M
