The greatest gift a person can give another is just to show up. And they did! The majority I knew, some I had not seen in decades, and others I didn’t know at all!

Hard to believe, but I’ve been with Elect Wellness for three years. In those three years, I’ve gained muscle in places I never new possible and watched my body make shocking transformations, little by little.

Today’s workout with Bob was on land. Each workout gets minutely better and better. But, every now and then, I’ll have a break out day, helping progress to the next phase of walking. Today was one of those days! I started with 20 minutes on the exercise ball , then held a stationary crawl position for a new time of
