SUMMARY:Trout Unlimited Meeting: Reel Strong\, Reel Ready
DESCRIPTION:All welcome for the monthly Dave Brandt Chapter of Trout Unlimited meeting. \nSpecial guest speaker this month is Marisa Orizolli\, a personal trainer and fitness instructor who specializes in functional strength\, mobility\, core training\, and balance for real-life performance. She helps active adults move better\, stay injury-free\, and build strength that supports the activities they love most. In her talk\, “Reel Strong. Reel Steady.”\, Marisa explains why shoulder mobility is essential for smooth\, powerful casting\, how a strong and stable core supports rotational strength and protects the spine\, and why balance and stability are critical for safely navigating creeks and rivers. Her message is practical and empowering: build total-body strength with purpose so you can stay steady\, fish longer\, and maintain the health and longevity to keep doing what you love for years to come.
