Exercise/Fitness Buddy - Miss S is a friendly woman in her early 40s who wants to maintain her mobility and physical strength. She uses a wheelchair to get around and can also walk with crutches for short distances. Miss S isn't into hard out exercise, but enjoys playing with her basketball, simple yoga, and going for walks in the sunshine. She has a mild intellectual disability and needs some one-to-one encouragement to get active, so she can maintain what mobility she has, for as long as possible.
