I have added a new feature for my clients.  You can now pay for you personal training session online through PayPal.  You don’t have to have a PayPal account - you can just use your debit or credit card through PayPal’s secure online payment system.  I added this simply for your convenience - I am still perfectly fine with traditional payment methods.

Just click go to the “Clients” Page and you will see the link there.

Shreveport Seniors Participate in Water Aerobics

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Water aerobics is a great low-impact, high-benefit exercise.  It is can be defined as “rhythmic dance or exercise steps performed in usually chest deep water.”  The Shreveport Times has a recent article about local Shreveport residents using water aerobics to combat their arthritis.

Judy Brewer and Robert Burton shared an early morning laugh as they dried off after their water aerobics session at the Southern Hills Pool.

The low-impact exercise has many health benefits for seniors and many in the group are searching for ways to continue the program year-round. “It’s been a great program,” Brewer said.

She drives from Shreve City to attend the program. “I’m not intimidated. There are all shapes and sizes and colors. It’s fun, and the fellowship is why I come,” she said.

For the past 12 weeks at the crack of dawn each Monday through Friday, an average of 32 seniors jump into the Southern Hills pool.

For late risers, there was also an evening class at 8 p.m. Burton has partaken of water aerobics for three years now.

“It’s great for your joints and arthritis,” he said.
