A poem by Melvin:

Exercise is an attitude
Nutrition is a prayer
For a body in sorrow
A blood pressure in despair
So let Don - Todd work you
and get that fat off your heart
and later don't run away
Kristin will teach you
How to eat every day
One of the ones that
Enjoy food / pain.

"I called... to enroll in the program and it's been a great experience for me. I have always been independent and active in terms of school, work, various activities, and some kinds of exercise, but never anything like this. I've been doing the seated aerobic routines and weight-bearing exercises regularly for two months and I'm really getting into the way it makes me feel.  I already feel healthier and stronger..... I love it when I work hard enough and long enough to break a sweat. For me, this is a whole new way to exercise, and I'm lovin' it!"

"Thanks to an outstanding class instructor...the nutrition class [was] fun and very interesting.  Foods that are healthy to eat every day and foods that are not good for you, and the different types of fats were very important to know about.  Also very important: stay away from salt."

"Thanks for showing me that little motor of motivation within me.  I took a glass of purified water instead of drinking soda.  I stopped playing Solitaire and grabbed a set of weights and worked out.  Life does go on, and I'm going to live it."
