    You are seriously one of the most inspirational people I have had the pleasure of reading about.

    For many years, I used my asthma as an excuse to be lazy. Now that I don't, I'm continually reminded of all the things I missed out on because of all my excuses. I'm thrilled you have also come to that understanding.

    You also give me hope that a family member with similar health issues to yours may eventually lead an active lifestyle with me rather than stay on the sidelines forever using her health issues as an excuse.

    Thank you and power on you strong and amazing person!

    You are just the best. I was sheepish about going to the gym before I read this and now I want to go crush it. Thank you for the inspiration and I can't wait for the next installment!

    You look amazing ! I'm just on my second week, but what caught me with you was hypermobility. I also have this and it does hold me back somewhat my hips sublux to much but hopefully small and little steps will help me on my way

    Hi, I found that strength training really helped with the sublexing (mine was my ankle). By using free weights you strengthen all those little stabilising muscles which in turn hold the joints in place better. If you can find a trainer that understands hypermobility then get them to teach you the lifts (although I can squat *kitten* to grass my trainer doesn't have me doing it with heavy weights due to the risks). I still have some clicking in my hips when doing mountain climbers but everything is improving both in stability and flexibility (many people don't realise that us bendies can end up with reduced range of movement thanks to reccurrent injury and fear of sublexing/dislocating).
