Cindy Lewis is a certified Level-3 Essentrics Instructor well-versed in flexibility and mobility techniques and exercises. She believes that Essentrics is an effective full-body workout for people of all ages, but is especially grateful for its "age reversing" effects that lead to stronger, leaner muscles and improved mobility and joint function.
