Success Story

Nelda Watson - Power Pump Member - 2010

I am a breast cancer survivor who has suffered bone loss for the past 6 years since my cancer treatment ended. Every year my dexa-scan showed more bone loss, that is until this year. I started Linda’s Power Pump class in the fall of 2009. I have tried to attend regularly and have felt stronger and more fit thanks to her classes. This fall when my regular mammogram and dexa-scan rolled around I was hoping for better results. I had my 6 month cancer center visit this week and am so happy to report that I am building bone!! My hip showed remarkable improvement along with re-growth in both my spine and wrist. I am certain weight bearing exercise through the Power Pump classes is the reason for this improvement. I want to thank the Wellness Center for offering these classes and Power Pump Instructor, Linda Bise for giving me the encouragement I needed to begin this fitness program. It has brought a profound change to my life and my personal wellness. I would also like to encourage others who may think they are too old or too out of shape to start now. It’s never too late to do something positive for yourself!
