“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.
