What is Fitness on a Swing Set? It is exercise with a playground swing is for kids and adults. I have created a fun and unique way to use a playground swing to exercise every major muscle group in the body including core, legs, chest, back, shoulders, and arms. The books are loaded with exercises and workouts (with plenty of photos) for beginner through advanced fitness enthusiasts. This exercise method offers benefits such as improved strength, weight loss, and general muscle conditioningSwing Set Fitness is FUN!!!. The exercises include traditional exercises such as the bike crunch while seated on the swing and the more advanced exercises that challenge the reader to perform crunches (knee-ins) in a plank or pushups in an inverted position. From new fitness enthusiasts to fitness gurus, these exercises will help everyone increase their strength and flexibility. Most importantly,

Goeller Takes Eight 1st Places in the Ballroom...

karen@SwingSetFitness.com (Karen Goeller) — Thu, 17 May 2012 17:35:56 GMT

Bed-ridden Patient to Ballroom Dancer

This lymphedema patient competed in a ballroom dance competition… and won. Karen Goeller participated at NYC Ball competition held at the Sheraton in NYC on May 12, 2012.

Lymphedema is swelling of the leg due to the lymph nodes being removed during cancer surgery. It cannot be cured, only maintained.

The NYC Ball is a ballroom dance competition for children and adults run by World Promotions. People traveled from far distances to compete including couples from as far away as Arizona.

There were several categories including Standard (International), Smooth (American), and Latin. Smooth and standard include waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, Viennese waltz, and tango. International style is considered more advanced. Karen Goeller competed in Standard / International Silver Levels one and two. She competed in 10 dances total and was awarded 1^st place for eight of them. She received 2^nd place for her two foxtrots, her least favorite dance.

While she danced, Karen was in good hands, literally. Her partner, Eduard Izotov, is already a professional dance champion. Goeller states, “I had confidence going in that I would do well because Eduard is so experienced. I knew he would help me look great on the dance floor.”

Eduard Izotov was ranked one of the top dancers in Russia. Besides being a professional dancer, choreographer, and judge, Mr. Izotov is highly educated with two Master's Degrees, teaching and psychology. His list of achievements seems endless and includes many 1st place awards at world competitions. He was also on the Russian version of "Dancing with the Stars and he won.

Karen and Eduard competed in Pro-Am, meaning a professional with an amateur. The Pro-Am is most often an instructor with their student, similar to what you see on the popular TV show, Dancing with the Stars.

Karen Goeller has been involved in ballet and gymnastics since she was a child, but had problems with her spine. Learning to move again was no easy task. She is a well-known author and coach who was once told that she would be bed-ridden for the rest of her life. That was just before major cancer surgery. Her most recent book is about her life ever since her cancer surgery. As a result of the surgery Goeller suffers from lymphedema in her leg. To train and compete in an activity such as this is really no small feat for Goeller. She shared, “Since my spine is still damaged from an accident and my leg still swells from lymphedema, I was not sure ballroom dance would work for me. I tried a group class 2 ½ years ago and was hooked. I am doing so much more than I ever imagined… I really love ballroom dance”

Karen is planning to compete in more competitions in the future. To read more about Karen Goeller visit www.KarenGoeller.com. Karen Goeller can be reached for interviews, book signings, and speaking engagements at 888-496-8749.
