Standing Knee Stretch With Ankle Rotation
Welcome to your Workout of the Week, January 28! This month we are highlighting AFM MED 125, Folsom.
Terrie Hallums, Medical Assistant, will be demonstrating stretches for the legs and hips. Terrie has been with Kaiser Permanente for 17.5 years. Her fitness background includes over 10 years of competitive taekwondo. However, she injured her knee in kickboxing last year and is now looking at low impact exercises such as stretching and stationary biking. She hopes to recover from meniscus surgery and get back into more mountain biking and hiking. Get well soon, Terrie!
She lives in the mountains and has several acres with farm animals and gardens to maintain, while still admiring the beauty of nature. She loves spending time and tending to animals and her dogs. Family time is very important to Terri, and her family loves camping, off-road activities, and enjoying all that the mountains have to offer.
The stretches for this month are her personal favorite for warming up and getting ready for taekwondo.
