Karol has always been an avid weight lifter and walker, but in mid June 2006, she was driven to finding an alternative when she suffered a lower back injury. After many months of rehab and physical therapy, Karol sought out a whole body fitness program that would keep her from reinjuring herself. Pilates became her lifeline to wellness by strengthen and toning muscles that were essential to her full recovery.
