Mr. T

stated his oxygen levels have been higher and he has been able to walk farther.

He has more confidence to go outside his house.

Ms. C

She can do more housework at home like cleaning and doing laundry without having to take as many breaks.

She said, “It feels good to finish it and not have to sit.”

Mr. L

stated he was never “a gym rat” but he loves coming to virtual PR and the motivation it has given him to continue to work out.

He loves that he can do a group class from home and wants to continue with the maintenance program.

Mrs. D

wasn’t able to walk to the bathroom without being short of breath.

Now she is going to the grocery store again, attending her grandson’s baseball games, and helping cook with her family.

Additionally, she is not using her walker as much for stability.

Ms. L

was happy to report after 12 weeks, she could walk to the neighborhood free library that she hasn’t been able to frequent in over a year because she was too short of breath to walk that far.

She is also able to go to the grocery store which she has not done in a few months.

Mrs. D

is more confident attending family get-togethers and birthday parties.

She feels like her overall attitude has changed for the better and feels happier. She said she may also try to go to a flea market over the weekend.
