I am a hairdresser and always far to busy to exercise. ( that’s my excuse), but with these exercises that Carole demonstrates very well I really don’t have an excuse. You can do these anywhere. Carole explains in a way that is so simple to do and understand. Really can’t wait to get on a paddle board.
Thankyou Carole
