Presentation: How to Exercise Safely After Bariatric Surgery

Speaker: Anna Simoneau, MEd, ATC, ACE

Anna is a personal trainer who works with all populations, but specializes in working with post-rehab clients and those with a history of musculoskeletal conditions.  She has worked in a number of settings including college athletics, occupational medicine, corporate fitness centers and physical therapy clinics.  Teaching others to take care of the one body they have been given is what Anna is most passionate about.  We are all dealt different hands through life and she enjoys coaching others through these transitions to ensure they can still get the most out of all the years to come.  For this presentation, Anna will discuss how to exercise in a way that may result in less damage or wear and tear to the body.  Anna will also cover movements to avoid until the body is ready through both gaining strength and losing weight.
