Personal trainer could help more

Re: [“Trying to Reclaim the Rhythm of Her Life,” June 30] please tell Linda Alcorace that she should dump that sadistic aerobics instructor and get a very competent personal trainer who can help her develop muscle strength safely. She cannot get the personal assistance she needs in a class.

I am not a trainer, but am the grateful recipient and beneficiary of several years of personal training that have helped me gain strength, work through several injuries and develop better balance and increased stamina. Also, aerobics classes do not build muscle mass; weight lifting does.

I hope you get your transplant soon. While waiting, take better care of yourself.
