I am 49 and had virtually never exercised a day in my life before working with Renee. Menopause changed by body...my midsection was flabby, my stomach protuded and my shoulders were rounded from years of computer work. I knew that it was time for me to actually do something for my physical health instead of just talking about it. In three short months of working with Renee, my posture and flexibility have dramatically improved! My core is stronger and my midsection is on its way to being firmed and toned...in fact my whole body is firmer and more toned!
