Feeling Fit with FSHD – Fitness training

18:00 PM CET | 17:00 PM UK | 12:00 PM Noon ET | 11:00 AM CT | 10:00 AM MT | 9:00 AM 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.”

For people living with FSHD who are interested in exercise and fitness, we meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month at 12:00 pm (noon) U.S. Eastern Time. Come dressed for exercise and have on hand any safety and assistive devices you need. Not every exercise is appropriate or safe for every individual, so please use your best judgement and consult your health care provider.

Please come prepared with a stable chair or stool (back of chair is optional).
