There are many reasons why my life has changed, all because of “Move it or Lose it!”.\u00a0 I was born with curvature of the spine and also suffered a stroke affecting my right hand side making walking a painful event, but now I can walk between 7,000 and 8,000 steps a day without pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
