A simple teaching formula for water exercise success stories are made of
This is feel-good exercise to help you move better.
Think beyond a workout
Learn how to teach results-proven workouts that eliminate joint pain and help people go up and down stairs with ease, walk more efficiently, and hit the golf ball further.
I’ve been teaching since the late ’80s and am learning much, being reminded of things
I’ve heard before, and clarifying information I thought I knew. But, what I am really
loving is that I feel like I am a much more powerful, life-enhancing instructor.
