 Active&Fit is a perfect fit
Ms. Frazee, 47, of Fairchance, Fayette County, has taken advantage of the Active&Fit program by joining her local Curves, a fitness center for women. As someone who has MS (multiple sclerosis), Kimberly understands how important it is for her to increase muscle strength. Kimberly also knows she must try as hard as she can to control her weight and manage her cholesterol. At Curves, she has seen much improvement in both areas. Her strength has improved to the point that she is now able to kneel down and get back up, something she had difficulty doing in the past. “It’s better than physical therapy,” Kimberly says of her experience at the fitness center. At Curves, she was also entered in a contest that measures monthly weight loss. Kimberly recently lost 7.5 inches from her waist and wound up taking first place for the month. As a reward, she has her picture hanging on the wall of the fitness center. Needless to say, Kimberly is a big fan of Active&Fit. “I’m 100 percent satisfied,” she says.
