Rosalie Brown

On the hip:

“At the age of 42, I was faced with having to have hip replacement surgery. Many surgeons told me I would need to change careers.”

Onwards and upwards:

“Maintaining a high fitness level after having hip replacements has challenged me most in life.”

Proud alumna:

“Being awarded as one of the University of Waterloo’s most accomplished alumni gave me much pride.”

Doting-grandmother era:

“Playing with my five grandchildren brings me the most joy!”

But first, coffee:

“I started drinking coffee at the age of 61!”

Mama’s girl:

“It means a great deal to me to be able to work out with my 85-year-old mom, helping her alleviate knee pain while becoming stronger and more confident.”

Healthy living, Rosalie’s way:

“I stay active by working out five times a week, achieving 10,000 steps a day and healthy meal planning. I stay active so I can continue to do all the things I love doing.”
