"If you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else,
it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, into
your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus,
but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them."

- Bruce Lee

"I move because I can. After being diagnosed at age 19 with rheumatoid arthritis, I could barely walk. Being able to move, is powerful AND it means freedom. I move to help provide restoration to my mind and body. Movement lifts me up and seeing other people move is INSPIRING. Move because YOU CAN."

"Being active with me has many benefits, for example:
 
- being able to maintain my own home without a lot of assistance from others.

- keeping the mind sharp through activity.

- socializing with others in your activity whether by way of classes or simply Mall walking.
