Don't be afraid to step outside of your . This physique is definitely not built for or bouldering, but it was so fun to play outside on the rocks on a beautiful day. Self-preservation kicks in when you know how hard the landing could be! 😂
Seriously, there are so many ways to include fitness in your day - put your mind to it and you'll find more than you can imagine! I'm constantly looking for things to do when we're out . It just adds to the enjoyment (and you just might pick up some new along the way)!

Mother/Daughter at to start the day. As my orthopaedic likes to remind me "There's only so much tread on those tires." ⚙️ Take the time to get as many miles as you can out of those joints! Flossing, buffering (yes, that's a car buffer 🚗), and body tempering are just a few of the ways mobility sessions can help. This is one of the ingredients in my recipe for longevity on a wonky shoulder! Product plug for the by - best seat in the gym - benching, tempering, you name it!

We just surprised Brian Welden with a new fundraiser in an effort to keep his progress going! He has seen some amazing progress over the past several months, and thank you all for having played a pivotal role in making this happen!

In an effort to help him get even further (and on his feet!!), some of his high school classmates got together and came up with an amazing idea! The print that is being sold was created in 1981 as Alison Berg Barlow's Senior art project, and it is absolutely stunning! The detail is amazingly intricate! For those of you who don't know, the Big Red Indian is our high school mascot.

A huge thanks to J.c. Lightner for spearheading and marketing this venture and Jay Johnson for creating the flyer and having the prints reproduced!

Please take a look, and feel free to share! There are a limited amount of the signed and numbered prints being offered.

Any graduate of Parkersburg High School would love this!

It's been ages since updating this page, so I thought I'd post some shots from Brian Welden's first trip away from home since the stroke over two years ago. I think this is just what he (and his family) needed - and deserved! I think his smile says it all!
Brian is still in various therapies just about every day of the week and is showing some serious progress. I know he's anxious to get out of that wheelchair, and he's getting so much closer!
As always, his positive attitude works wonders!

If you are in the Vienna/Parkersburg, WV area this weekend, please make sure to stop by Wayside United Methodist Church to take part in this amazing fundraiser. All proceeds will benefit Brian's continuing therapy through Barwis Methods First Step Foundation. Let's help get him back on his feet! Thank you to all involved!

THIS is why I love my hometown. Fundraising efforts continue for Brian Welden, and my parents' church family (and the one in which we were raised) has stepped forward with a fundraising dinner. Local restaurants are donating items, local businesses are advertising, and the wonderful people of the church are donating and baking up a storm. I bet the desserts will be top notch (just like all of the folks involved in this amazing effort)! Thank you, State Farm!
❤ Best. Hometown. Ever.

A very special Merry Christmas to all of you who have supported Brian on his road to recovery! Our family is overly thankful for each and every one of you and for all that you have done to help him reach his goals. I truly have faith that 2016 will find him up on his feet again. His therapy is showing consistent progress, and his determination never wavers. We are blessed to have you on his team!

Latest update on our very own Warrior! Progress!! Keep moving forward!
A HUGE thanks to all of you for all of your support, from product sales, donations, words of encouragement, greeting cards sent to Brian, etc.
He truly does have the best support system!
P.S. His 45 # Bear Squat PR was a sight to see! (for 10 reps, I might add!)

Just picked up and delivered an entire order for some wonderful folks in West Virginia!

Next up - another order being sent mostly to WV again.

I've heard from a few of you requesting more shirts. It's not too late if you want in!
