Testimony
Through the years, I’ve spent many hours on the floor relaxing, watching TV, playing with my grandchildren and sitting outside on the ground doing yardwork, especially weeding. As I got older, getting back up became a painful ordeal, often needing my grandson's help to push or pull me, or crawl to nearby furniture for support, accompanied by plenty of moaning and groaning.
However, on April 25, 2026, something incredible happened. While picking up tiny toys from the floor, I remembered I needed to do something in the kitchen. Without thinking, I stood up in one fluid motion. Stunned, I realized I had gotten up to a full standing position without pain, without moaning or groaning, and without hands, furniture, or anyones help! I couldn't believe it, so I sat back down and did it again... and again...and again.
The only change I’d recently made was starting Janelle Mayeshiro's Fit & Flexible class a couple of weeks before. Janelle teaches not only exercises but how our bodies work, emphasizing the importance of core strength, posture, hydration, nutrition, and other key ways to keep our bodies healthy. When starting this class my goal was to strengthen my back and improve my posture.
Little did I know that I would gain these “bonus benefits”:
1) Being able to get up from the floor with ease in such a short period of time
(April 8-April 25)—something I thought I would never be able to do again.
2) Following Janelle's hydration advice, my skin and palms are softer, without lotion, and my elevated chloride level was reduced to normal without a significant decrease in salt intake.
3) 1-inch reduction in my waist circumference.
Fit and Flexible is undoubtedly the best class I’ve ever taken; full of relevant and useful information plus visible and actual results. Furthermore, Janelle’s promotion of camaraderie among class members enables us to learn from each other too. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to move better, feel stronger, and improve their overall health.
