Dr. Tasha Allen
   

"I am an athlete!” is what Dr. Allen can now say with high honors. She has been working out for 3 months with a mobile fitness agency Family Fitness Now. Dr. Allen mentioned that the last time she participated in exercise was when she was in college. She is now 55 years young and is thriving in her comeback. She currently has expressed that basketball, volleyball and softball are the sports she would love to do once again. During her tenure with me she can lift weights, basketball drills, agility runs, balance exercises, stretching, speed walking, and jogging. She is bound and determined to participate in safety techniques to prevent injuries and train near maximum fitness levels. Dr. Allen of Hayward California won't win any competitions, go to the Olympics, or be the best. But she is an athlete none the less.

During the month of April she participated in power walking drills at 200 meters for time. Her first walking attempt was 1:42.  On April 30, Dr. Allen power walked to a personal best 59.91 seconds. This is a 43 second decrease in time. When I showed her the stop watch she was so excited that she forgot she was out of breath in the moment of celebration. 

In her work as a dentist, she has to sit while using her arms a lot. So any major soreness can disrupt her daily routine with her patients. Dr. Allen and I have developed some exercise strategies that will strengthen her lower back, neck and shoulders in order to support her health.  It has been a real pleasure observing her growth, dedication, and willingness to stretch beyond her goals.

Summer goal: jogging around the Sports Complex I am an athlete. She is an athlete strong both in mind and body. “Thank you for allowing me to be apart of it all"
