Fit and Fabulous in the RIvertowns

Laurie is a fitness instructor who specializes in working with "real" men and woman over 50 with very real lives.

Today was one of those days that i watched another fabulous, fit, well over 50 year old woman reach her goals! I cannot put into adequate words what this woman has given back to me, watching her go from somewhat scared of weights, thinking of herself as "weak", not liking what she saw in the mirror and missing her old self.

Well today, she can still miss her old self, as her new self has surpassed her old self. Stronger, leaner, more flexible, braver and overall a new woman in all ways.

I cannot use her name, but she knows who she is and if you see a sort of old familiar face walking around the Rivertowns, with a youthful hop to her step, a great pair of well fitting jeans and a proud attitude, you will know her. A pair of jeans, that just happen to be a couple of sizes smaller!
