Functional Fitness With Suzanne Andrews

Functional Fitness With Suzanne Andrews.

Meet My Fitness Friend Suzanne Andrews

Suzanne Andrews is the president of Healthwise Exercise and the Founder of Functional Fitness with Suzanne Andrews, on PBS Public Television. I met Suzanne on Facebook after seeing one of her fabulous functional fitness workout videos.

The show was originally created in 2008 with its first run on WDSC TV, Functional Fitness with Suzanne Andrews ® broadcasts on 184 Public Television stations airing to over 49 million.  It is now in the third series.  Suzanne takes you to some of the most beautiful destinations in North America for the most motivating workouts ever!  

WITH FUNCTIONAL FITNESS, ONE DAY LONGER REALLY IS ONE DAY STRONGER!”

Suzanne Healed Through Her Unique Functional Fitness Method 

After sustaining back and neck injuries from a major car accident, cardiac arrest on the operating table and severe bilateral shoulder injuries from a work accident, Suzanne miraculously regained full function through an integrative Functional Fitness take back your health plan. 

Because Suzanne is a rehab practitioner, she focuses on teaching clinically proven corrective exercises  (for conditions including arthritis, osteoporosis, insomnia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obesity, balance and more) in all of her DVDs and the PBS TV series to help you reach your best health with chair exercises or if you prefer, standing moves. 

How Functional Fitness Is Different

Whereas other workout DVD’s demonstrate fast paced exercises taught by fitness instructors; Suzanne Andrews therapeutic methods instruct medically proven sequencing, pacing and repetitions at a slower pace for faster results.   Studies show that slower exercises actually speeds up results of all over body strengthening, stretching and mobility while decreasing injury risk.  

Diagnosed with a thyroid disorder that slows metabolism, Suzanne Andrews found the key to losing 60 pounds through her evidenced based fitness programs and sound nutrition that help you win the weight loss battle.  

Filming For PBS At The Boca Raton Resort

Suzanne reached out to me and asked if I would like to film in one of her upcoming PBS TV shows, Functional Fitness with Suzanne Andrews. I was so excited and honored to be invited to work with her. This was such a great opportunity.

I arrived at the Boca Raton Resort and escorted to the Presidential suite to get hair and makeup done. Suzanne was busy getting her hair and makeup done and they whisked me off to do the same. We then went to one of the main rooms at the resort and filmed episode #403 Total Body Interval Workout. Make sure to watch it!

I ‘m on the look out for a Functional Physician to help with my healing process. I will be watching for this on PBS…thank you for sharing. This gives me a renewed hope! Blessings to you and Suzanne…may this be the start of something amazing for the two of you!
