Workout Plan
The concept of this workout routine grew out of my desire to offer something I didn’t have as a teenager with scoliosis, a written program of light aerobics, core strengthening, and basic stretching that I could complete daily. If someone were to tell me at age twelve or thirteen to tighten my core, I wouldn’t have known what they were talking about. The objective of this program is to make sure a teen with scoliosis does know what that means. Even someone who’s in their early teens can develop a solid grasp of these terms and how they related to their condition. Knowing this will help as they get older.
