I have been winning prizes and awards in amateur sports all my life. Was inter-school representative in amateur athletics and held the records for sprints, hurdles and throwing events, and also gymnastics and netball. On leaving school went on to represent Hong Kong internationally in Grass Hockey and in partnership with the Hong Kong Rugby Union, help set up Touch Rugby for Women in the then British Colony. During this time, I also started and operated my unisex aerobics school - men and women together – what a furore in those days. One of these classes were for post-pregnant women wanting flatter lower abs.

About ten years ago, I suffered a dilapidating injury to my spine where three lower discs had slipped and which continue to degenerate, resulting in my becoming bed ridden for a period. The following months and years were spent in terrible pain and frustration with limited movements. Many of you who suffer from back injuries will understand what it is like to wake up, trying to go about your day – every day in constant pain and restricted movements – I literally could not bend over to put on my own shoes. To add insult to injury, I had lost my healthy, rock hard body. Doctors gave me the option of a spinal fusion.

About two years ago not relishing the choice, I decided to start on a natural regulated diet plan and a regime of lower abs and cardio exercises to help support and strengthen my spine. The results were amazing. I can now run miles every week and partake in aerobics and kick-boxing classes, and will be ready to start playing hockey again. This is why this site has been created. The discovery of how little it took to regain fitness, strength and my toned abs back surprised even me at 57 years old. I am told that I have the body of a 35 year old, and I want to show you how I did it and share the results with those who are fighting to get some semblance back of your old self or shall I say ‘new’ self.
