KARIN VOLKMANN       

The Exercise Lady  

              


I first met Karin in the early 2000s when she worked for Ballys and
I went there for my workouts.
As the weeks and years went by,
I watched her train various clients and
was impressed with her work with
older clients.

About 10 years ago, I realized I wasn't pushing myself hard enough, I signed on to be trained by Karin. We have become
good friends over the years.  About 3
years ago, I told her I need to get ready
for knee replacement surgery. I wanted
to lose weight and get my leg muscles
stronger. She was very instrumental in
helping me reach my goals. I ended up
having two knee replacements and 
Karin was right there aiding in my recovery.

Both knees now look like the X-ray on
the right here.  Because of these metal
parts, I have to be specially scanned at
the airport to make sure I'm not hiding
a bomb.

Friends forever  (we're often taken for sisters)
