Feeling Fit with FSHD – Fitness training

18:00 CET | 17:00 UK | 12:00 Noon ET | 11:00 CT | 10:00 MT | 9:00 PT

Chris Haven, from the Pacific Northwest chapter, will share her experiences working out with Alex Walker, a personal trainer and strength coach. She will share a video and discuss her FSHD and fitness journey. Alex unfortunately can’t join us live, but here is a little bit about him, in his words:  “I have been weightlifting most of my life and started my personal training business 12 years ago while also coaching football and lacrosse for several years. As a USAW certified performance coach, I can teach and refine weightlifting techniques, assess mobility, effectively communicate with my clients, and implement optimum training plans. This combined with being also a Bioforce certified conditioning coach, allows me to truly assess the needs of my clients. Over the past several years, I have become a rehabilitation specialist working with FSHD muscular dystrophy clients increasing their functional strength and improving their daily lives.”

Pour les personnes vivant avec la FSHD qui sont intéressées par l'exercice et la mise en forme, nous nous réunissons les 2e et 4e jeudis de chaque mois à 12 h (midi), heure de l'Est des États-Unis. Venez habillé pour faire de l'exercice et ayez à portée de main les dispositifs de sécurité et d'assistance dont vous avez besoin. Tous les exercices ne sont pas appropriés ou sûrs pour tous les individus, alors faites preuve de discernement et consultez votre fournisseur de soins de santé.

Veuillez vous munir d'une chaise ou d'un tabouret stable (le dossier de la chaise est facultatif).
