Hello
This is not research. It is a story about change and what is possible when
people feel supported to try something positive for themselves.  Linda is a

Hey Kathleen,
I really have to share this with someone.  I have been trying to get the
women of the kitchen to come to aerobics for over a year and a half. When
our instructor left, we purchased some tapes and have combined some to get a

total workout.  Last summer I found  a 3 mile walking tape which is
relatively simple for beginners.  A week ago I finally convinced one of the
women to come and she loved it.  I gave her the tape to take home in case
she wanted to do more and now she says she uses it when she is having an
anxiety attack and it works.  We generally meet twice a week.  On Tuesday
night at Collective kitchen I told all the women about "Mary's" coming and
how well she did and generally bragged her up - last night everyone of the
women came and participated and said they'd be back and would like a copy of

the tape.
I hope we can keep them coming as I'm sure it will be a positive step for
all of them.
Linda
