Description

The Aware Athlete takes you beyond the definition of fitness as physical fitness only to the concept of life fitness which enables you to overcome obstacles, develop your potential, find inner strength and live your dreams and redefine fitness ** More about the author Helping ordinary people become super heroes is Scott's passion. As a runner and fast packer, Scott Forrester has been interested in athletics for over 50 years with 18 years as a ACE Certified Personal trainer, 8 as a Physical Therapist Assistant and 4 as a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner. He finds helping those who have been injured, or those who have found themselves on a plateau in any endeavor in life, move closer to their potential by using their awareness, is particularly rewarding. Running has always been an important part his life. Scott's blessed to enjoy his favorite activity into his 60’s. In order to do so he had to continue to learn. After falling off a roof and breaking his ankle in the year 2000, he continued to run. By compensating for the ankle Scott developed knee problems. After having his ankle surgically repaired the knee problems persisted. An orthopedic surgeon told Scott that he should not run anymore. The MRI indicated narrowing of joint spaces and degenerative changes occurring. That's when Scott began his search for answers. He found them in a process of awareness and change to his own running. Scott has contributed articles on a broad range of athletic topics to the Fort Collins Coloradoan, Wyoming Tribune Eagle, Torrington Telegraph, La Pine Newberry Eagle and the Clovis Roundup.
