If you have ever been intimidated by the idea of joining fitness classes, you need to hear Jackie Aulenback’s story.
The 59-year-old woman from Saint John braved her fears by joining the Y back in January and she has never looked back.
She tells us she started walking before moving into classes telling us she loves the instructors and how they explain all the moves and how fun they make the classes.
She’s down three clothing sizes and has ditched her blood pressure meds.
“Got rid of that and got rid of the diabetes pills. I always suffered with depression and I never once suffered with depression since going to the Y.” Aulenback says.
Aulenback has lost 75 pounds so far.
She says the endorphins after exercise classes are amazing adding she tries to tell people it’s easier than you think.
