StrongWomen™ Success Stories
“I was unable to get off the couch without my husband helping me, then I joined a StrongWomen class. Now I am able to get off the couch with no help AND I can pick up my grandchildren because I have much more strength and balance.”
“I am a Double/Lung recipient (June 2003). After spending just over a month in the hospital, I came home to recoup, about the time, I was to do my rehab, I found out that I had crushed one vertebrae and cracked another, and the pain was too great to do anything but try to heal. So I did what I could at home until I felt strong enough, and decided to look for some type of excise. Thankfully, I read about StrongWomen Program in my local newspaper and joined. Strong Women has truly given me back, my body strength and the ability to hold myself upright. With the crushed vertebrae, I already have a humped back, but I am determined along with StrongWomen to remain upright until I am 80. I believe whole heartily in the Strong Women Program, for so many reasons, body strength, better bones, better balance, body movement, everyday living and social interaction. So my advise is to get out there and join, make your life better and healthier. I am now leading a StrongWomen Class in Rock County.”
One of my participants updated me weekly with her progress. She goes to the Chiropractor for a variety of heath problems. She stated that the chiropractor was so amazed with her progress that he asked her to share what she was doing with him so he could apply it to other patients. She said that this is the first year in quite some time she was able to push mow her lawn with some ditches and inclines. She was afraid of falling and geting hurt in the past.
“I think that the StrongWomen program has really helped me have an easier time doing weeding, gardening etc. I wasn’t as sore as other years when I was not strength training. My everyday life is much easier now like house cleaning, grocery carrying, etc.”
“I have been walking for years and always had shin splints, but now that I have been participating in the Strongwomen program 2 sessions ago, I haven’t had any shin splints at all.”
