Health Hero of the Month:
Rita Ferguson
Rita is a lady in her 60s who struggles with the affects of fibromyalgia. The following is her testimony:
“I joined Vintage Athletics March 1, 2023 as my joints were stiffining and losing muscle strength . Last year (2022) I had to start having a cane available. This was not the path I wanted to go. I saw the ad on Facebook for Vintage Athletics and sent Patricia an email on when and where classes are. I joined (the program I do is Get Up & Go) to strenthen my muscles and balance. I was skeptical, but knew I had to take this path. I am glad I did. Sleep pattern has improve, breathing as well. I am once again able to walk around Sepa Lake without the laboured breathing or canes. I have more energy and my muscles are getting stronger. Even though this is not a weight loss class, I have lost inches and am feeling so much better overall. I need to add that I suffer the affects of Fibromyalaga. Although the first six weeks were challenging; there is no denying the benefits of sticking with it.
