I go once a week and sometimes twice a week. It has made a huge difference in how I feel. I think the tripping was due to balance which the training has helped too. I feel great and toning up very nice,y with my weight loss. Exercise is very important- Just Move.


This is so inspiring, I'm glad it helped your balance. I had a seriously injured foot that messed with my balance. I fell 4 times on stairs, now have arthritic shoulders, tore my bicep and trapezius.

4 years later I'm happy to be able to work my arms again and my balance is much improved as well. I had avoided working my arms and thought arthritis was a life long problem but the more flexible I get the less things hurt.
