About The Author

Sue Scott

Sue Scott, MS, is an exercise consultant, balance specialist, educator, and author who promotes active living. In her work with older adults and through her fitness company, Renewable Fitness, Scott integrates research and American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines into physical activities that enhance balance, activities of daily living, and brain health to improve the health and well-being of seniors, particularly frail older adults.

Scott has over 25 years of experience working exclusively with seniors and fitness. She has worked in fitness as an educator, researcher, consultant, and personal trainer since 1986. She is certified as an exercise physiologist by ACSM and as a brain health trainer by the Functional Aging Institute.

Scott is the creator of the Adventures in Better Living through Exercise (ABLE) balance improvement protocols. A National Blueprint on Active Aging grant in 2003 enabled Scott to research the effectiveness of the ABLE Bodies balance techniques in a randomized, controlled trial. In 2005, Scott presented her findings at the ACSM conference in Nashville as well as the International Association of Homes and Services for the Ageing (IAHSA) conference in Norway and the American Public Health Association (APHA) conference in Philadelphia.

In her free time, Scott enjoys skiing, mountain biking, gardening, and vacationing with her family. She and her husband, Rick, and their two children reside in Happy Valley, Oregon.
