When the instructor flew her 30 feet up into the air, she thought it was amazing. Not a few minutes earlier she had wanted to run from the building.

And my gung- ho daughter was thrilled to bits to do this — until it was her turn, and then she wasn’t. My heart dropped. I knew how much she was looking forward to this, and I knew her anxiety was yelling at her. She asked my husband to go first, and she wanted me to go last. I wasn’t sure she was going to go at all. Over the roar of the turbine, I talked to the instructor to let him know her fear, and I was so touched to see he was able to meet her where she was. He had the wind turned WAY down so she could walk around in the turbine. He held her hand and explained the noise and how her body would float. He let her be scared, and showed her how it

According to a 2016 survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more Americans than ever before are getting the exercise their bodies need. Of course, this is great news. Reams of >Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4
