I have been active all of my life but as I got older I really felt the need to do more to combat old injuries and stay fit. I started doing CrossFit in my 50's and quickly appreciated the challenges of learning these movements as an older adult. I also recognized the incredible utility of this style of exercise for increasing mobility and strength for all ages and fitness levels. Now as a coach, my passion is helping older adults and seniors by adapting functional fitness workouts to build strength, flexibility and mobility to combat aging .  Currently I program and coach the Legends, Older Adult CrossFit, classes as well as offering my adaptive programing to regular CrossFit classes.  Outside of Stronghearts I'm part of a team that coaches the Parkinson's Wellness exercise classes at the local recreation centre. 

SPECIALIZATION:

• Scaling options
• Older adult fitness
• Parkinson's disease
• Compete in Kettlebell Sport Competitions
