Exercise in the time of Coronavirus, Part 1

Triathlete Sue Reynolds describes her personal transformation from 335-pound couch potato to 135-pound elite competitor. Her new book, “The Athlete Inside: The Transforming Power of Hope, Tenacity, and Faith” chronicles her journey. Locked down with the rest of America, she describes her exercise workarounds. Competition has taught her lessons of resilience which have helped her cope with the current pandemic.

When not training and competing, she’s a motivational speaker. Click HERE for part 2.
