Jess,

Thank you friend for stopping by today!
I am happy to hear you have your husband as your walking buddy! I think it’s a wonderful way to connect with a spouse!
Yes, I wish fitness centers addressed all clients who would like to use their facility not just the really healthy ones.

Hugs,
Robin

I walk the golf course so it is some exercise… And I do a little yoga and pilates 5 mornings a week. I might just join a class…

I enjoyed reading your post and love that you and Sammy are workout buddies. I am enjoying “meeting” her! my hubby and i are workout buddies as we do walk together. I am more of a water person, so I end up swimming alone, but it is a great idea as you and your daughter get to work in fitness together, it helps to motivate and its a special time together.
I love the tandem bike! I think it would be a great idea for fitness centers to have more programs or facilities for handicapped adults. I, myself can only be in very warm water in the pool, as colder water will not work with my muscle disease, and there are not manyplaces have PT/warm water pools .
Have a great day!

Thank you Nina I appreciate your friendship!
Yes I am Sammy’s advocate and living a healthy lifestyle is important for disabled adults.
Very few social or governement programs address the obesity problems facing disabled adults.
I wish local fitness centers would actually have fitness programs for handicap adults.
Hugs,
Robin

Thank you Debbie!
I appreciate your cooments since you work with disabled students and see the challenges they will face as adults once they leave the school.
I know it takes a lot of work for parents to be the care takers of a disabled adult and many do not have the support system around them like I do.
I am blessed that Sammy is surrounded by her siblings and she has a very active social life.

Being her workout buddy is just a small piece of being a parent of a disabled child, one that I truly love to do with her.

Hugs always my friend!
Robin

You are an inspriation, my friend. Hugs! Nina

It’s awesome that Sammy is involved in Special Olympics, and it’s awesome that all of you stay active as a family. I wish that more of my students’ parents were even half as amazing as you are! xo
