It’s been a little over a year since my last post on here!!  Time sure does go by fast!!  I’m happy to report my ThermaPool is still up and running great!!  My aqua therapy sessions usually last about 2 hrs or a little less, 5 days a week on average!!  It’s been 3 years now that I’ve had my thermapool and it’s changed my life and health in so many positive ways!! It’s also helped other people in my life get healthy and strong! Life with an indoor pool still feels so surreal, especially on my bad days when I need it the most, I get in and feel instant relief physically and mentally!!  Just being on my feet and out of that chair is a relief and a blessing!!  I realize I’m not getting better, in fact I’m getting worse because I’m fighting a progressive disease but I can feel this pool therapy is preserving my body as much as possible...helping me fight this illness as best as I can!!  I’m so thankful everyday for this sponsorship!
In the past, I’ve posted about some friends and family members that I have trained in the pool, some with disabilities and some without!  I primarily use the indoor pool for my personal therapy care although recently within the last three months I have been training some friends of mine Jeff and his wife Karan! They are both in their 60’s and have different goals!!  Karan works in her beautiful garden all spring, summer and fall. so was looking to stay fit and strong during the cold winter days!  She’s already in great shape but was looking also for more flexibility!  It’s been almost 2 months to days a week and she is improving her flexibility and getting stronger every week!!  Her cardio strength has also improved tremendously!!  I have a lot of fun working with her and will miss her come April!!  She reports she notices a difference in her body’s muscle tone and feels great every time she leaves here!!  :)  I also put both Karan and Jeff on my Bemer Therapy mat for 20mins before each workout session!!  I truly feel and believe that Bemer is tremendously helping with their amazing results and energy levels!!
So Jeff was looking to loose weight, (especially his belly)  lower his blood pressure, feel stronger and start working on his body again so he can live his best healthy life!! They are a very active and adventurous couple but Jeff never really did any gym or personal training until me!! He told
me on their recent trip to Maine, he was driving a skimobile and felt so strong controlling it through the thick snow and narrow pathways!! He said he could have never done the ride for so long if he wasn’t working out the last few months!! Even carrying work loads is easier and he’s faster on his movements he reports!!  I was thrilled that Jeff wanted me to be his training coach and was committed!!  January 2020, He started eating much better, lowered his alcohol consumption and started aqua training with me 3 days a week in my ThermaPool!!  Within the first week he was noticeably stronger and started loosing weight!!  Every week Jeff was reporting that his blood pressure keeps dropping which was great news, his energy levels were high and he felt like he was 30 again!!  His sleep is significantly better as well as his mood and his self esteem!!  I’m proud to report that now after 2 1/2 months of 3 days a week for 1 hr of intense aqua training and Jeff is down 22 lbs, BP is down nearly 28 points and his waist measurements are down 2”!  His clothes don’t fit like they have been the last few years!!!  It’s so rewarding for me to hear him speak about how well he is feeling and how strong he feels!!  We are starting to notice muscle tone form in his shoulders arms and back which is giving him even more motivation to keep on going!!!  Jeff wants to continue our training sessions and I’m excited to have the opportunity to work with him and Karan!!  They even motivate me to get in to the water on days that I may not have the motivation or the strength but I do find it, somehow :-)
Thank you Jeff and Karan!!!

Here’s a few pictures of the last few months .......
