Functional Fitness for Boomers
When asked why Functional Fitness with Suzanne Andrews was selected for broadcast on KUEN TV, Program Assistant Chere Wood, stated, “We were looking for a high quality fitness show for Sunday mornings, and were excited to find Functional Fitness. It's a unique show among fitness programs because it is truly aimed at helping the average adult improve, instead of higher level athletes.”
Functional Fitness with Suzanne Andrews is about improving one’s health, strength, endurance, and flexibility to maintain an active lifestyle. Demonstrating medically proven exercises with three levels including seated, modified standing and advanced, Doctor recommended Functional Fitness is proven to enhance bone density and posture, minimize joint pain, decrease risk of diabetes, increase strength in the upper and lower body, decrease blood pressure and blood sugar levels, increase weight loss and improve heart function. With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day it is a series that is both timely and innovative.
