At the age of 65 I could only walk for a 50 meters before I had to sit down.  I was tak­ing pills to con­trol my high blood pres­sure. Anna used to come 2–3 times a week to our home gym for five years before we left Cyprus. By that time, I could walk on a tread­mill at a solid pace for 45 min­utes. I avoided knee surgery and cut my pills to half. Dur­ing first year we used to can­cel a les­son every time we had a late night out, or a fam­ily vis­it­ing, but after a while, we stopped skip­ping a ses­sions. We looked for­ward to Anna’s next visit.  Our guests started join­ing us in the gym, even neighbours.

 

We left Cyprus, but we didn’t stop using our home gym in UK. It’s a part of our life now. We are ever so grate­ful for meet­ing Anna, and we miss her a lot.
