Swing for Veterans Program: Attention Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans...
www.SwingSetFitness.com
Karen Goeller, creator of Swing Set Fitness wants to thank you for your remarkable service by donating her time. She will be offering FREE Swing Set workouts. Goeller is looking forward to working with injured and non-injured veterans.
Goeller stated, “there are plenty of exercises that can be performed by people with injuries.” The non-injured areas of the body can often be exercised without disrupting the injured areas. The swing can support the bodyweight while certain exercises are performed. For example, the squat exercise can be performed with the swing behind the back so that it is supporting the body weight or it can be performed while holding the swing and leaning back. Another example of an exercise where the swing supports the body weight is the double crunch. That one is performed while sitting on top of the swing.
Goeller knows first hand about performing exercise while injured because she has successfully performed many swing exercises with her back injuries. She states that she was "surprised at how many exercises could be performed with an injury." Goeller states that she may also offer help to the spouses of veterans because the couple can exercise together.
