Leg Press 250lb by 60 year old Client

I have a 60 year old grandma client who is diabetic, hypertensive and had suffered an ankle fracture few years ago. When she came to me about 9 months ago, she has just gotten off the wheel chair after sittting on it for 1.5 years.

Through great determination, I am proud to announce that she managed 250lb of weight at the leg press machine for 20 repetitions yesterday! Some of the gym instructors and gym goers whom we see regularly in the gym were also shocked at the amount of weight she can push.

Some of her other achievements
- Bench press - Olympic Bar (20 kg) 2 sets x 12 reps
- Squat - 10 kg barbell 2 x 15
- Walk 12.5 rounds (5 km) around the track in 73 minutes.

Not to mention that her blood glucose and blood pressure readings have been lowered over the past few months.

This gives me great satisfaction!
