Vanessa and Malinda wanted to add some Amazon Links recommendations: Please note: We are not professional trainers, occupational therapists, physical therapists or doctors. These are products we used with our children that made life fun with a bit of fitness. Seek advice from a professional before using anything we have tried: 

Please note again: we do make a small commission just by clicking on the amazon links. We use 100% of the funds to pay for the cost of the podcast. Podcasting is fun and we have a great time chatting. The costs are around $1000/yr. Thanks for listening :)
