Chuck and Pam Looney are both 65 years of age and married with grown children; neither had ever been in a gym. Chuck stayed in shape by riding his bicycle to work for at least twenty years, but as a retiree, he listened to a neighbor who recommended the Jungle Gym. Chuck wanted to tone, increase his range of motion and lose weight, so he set a routine to include cardio exercises two days a week with a concentration on weights the other three days; he continually works hard to gain flexibility, endurance, and overall physical and emotional strength. Pam had total knee replacement simultaneously on both knees that required physical therapy, which she sought at Mannon Motion/Jungle Gym. Her goal after surgery was to walk again meaning she had to relearn the skill because she dragged her left leg and couldn’t lift it for safe mobility. Pam followed through with consistent exercise after physical therapy ended including Yoga which made her more aware of the value of breathing properly thus leading her to become more flexible. Today, Pam fits exercise into her life five days a week. For cardio, she uses the stationary bike and elliptical machine then uses weights for building strength, plus she walks four miles three times a week. Pam states exercise including Yoga has led her to slow down and concentrate on the task at hand and then adds that her balance, coordination, flexibility and alertness are much stronger. Through her Yoga experience she became certified to teach the art twice a week at the Jungle Gym and with a smile adds that doing “stuff” at the gym keeps her interested in her health and overall physical and emotional well being. She leaves us with this advice: Stay moving. Exercise every day. Take a walk. Chuck states that he now has more stamina for early morning fishing trips, more energy throughout the day, and a long-lasting positive attitude. His goal is to keep exercising everyday for as long as his body allows and with a grin states: Maintain a positive attitude toward exercise and regularly come to the gym. Gym mates of Chuck and Pam will be counting on them for continued inspiration.
