“The Stroke of An Artist”, is a inspiring 21/2 year journey of a personal fitness trainer and a stroke survivor client. This inspiring journey will bring hope and encouragement to those in recovery and their friends and family. The anatomy illustrations help bring more awareness and knowledge of the body and why specific muscles must be strengthened to bring back safety, strength and spatial awareness with movement. There are two goals for this book. One sent personally from Gary’s heart with hopes that his story will help others in the same struggle he had faced. Don’t Give Up! Never Quit! He encouraged others. As the fitness trainer, I wish the same, as well as I hope this journey helps bring insight and education to fellow fitness professionals to help them on their Journeys with stroke survivor clients.

This journey is an excellent example to those in recovery, of how exercising with the proper exercise almost daily can help build new pathways and remake the body strong and functional again.
