KLRU Broadcasts Functional Fitness with Suzanne Andrews®

June 27, 2012 - PRLog -- Healthwise Exercise, producers of doctor recommended Functional Fitness with Suzanne Andrews, proudly announces the series is now airing in Austin, Texas.  Suzanne Andrews, founder of the series is a licensed occupational therapy practitioner with over 25 years of experience and certified in a variety of therapeutic exercise techniques. She uses gentle teaching methods to guide viewers to ease joint pain, improve diet and lifestyle, slow the aging process and lose weight. This approach to exercise is known as "Functional Fitness", and it is steadily gaining popularity.

Andrews resonates with most viewers of the baby boomer generation by offering workouts for a variety of skill levels. There are three versions of each movement which can be done in either a sitting or standing position, allowing viewers of all ages and health situations to progress at their own rate and discover a better level of fitness. The program also teaches viewers how to protect their independence as they age.

Healthwise Exercise has received much feedback regarding Functional Fitness with Suzanne Andrews and the great things it can do. A pregnant woman recently wrote just to say how much she loves doing the seated exercise routine. Another woman, who was nearly immobile due to her muscle weakness, called to express her gratitude for the improvements she has seen since following the advice given on the show. And then there was the letter from a group of children, who wanted to say thank you for the fact that their 60 year old grandmother, who was once quite unhealthy, was back to having fun and skiing with them again.

After so many wonderful letters, Functional Fitness with Suzanne Andrews is motivated to help even more people become aware that there is a fitness program out there that doesn't involve someone screaming at them to endlessly jump up and down. For those who don't learn well in a boot camp environment, Functional Fitness with Suzanne Andrews offers a soothing and gentle alternative approach. It is also the only series that details an exercise plan which can protect against many medical conditions. Such conditions include but are not limited to: diabetes, back pain, depression and anxiety, obesity and even arthritis.
