You can never be too
young – or too old – to work on fitness. |
That spirit was embraced by Annandale resident and PR client
Dan McKinnon, age 83, who lauded the “whole body experience” stressed by Amaya,
who helps him focus on nutrition, correct breathing, and a positive attitude, as well
as physical fitness.
