Women take on Body for Life challenge
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
Their waists are trimmer, they are
more energetic and they feel more
tit.
When Marion Cook and Linda
Loder of Blyth decided to participate
in a 12-week weight training and
aerobics program. overall health was
their goal.
"I have always been health con-
scious,' said Loder, "but with lower
back pain, I didn't want to end up in
a wheelchair when I am older."
Loder's mother Cook said she
decided to try the program because
at her age (over 70), she was con-
cerned about future mobility. "I
broke my femur years ago and my
leg was weak. I believed they would
be my first problem as I aged so I
wanted to strengthen and tone."
The pair first found out about
Body for Life through Loder's broth-
er Les Cook. Not only had Cook
seen the book about the program on
store shelves, but spoke to friends in
Atlanta, GA who spoke highly of the
system.
Cook soon ordered the book and
accompanying information on how
to undertake the fitness regime.
When Loder and Marion Cook
saw the results attained by Les and
his wife, with encouragement, they
agreed to try the course as well.
With initial guidance from Les, the
pair were soon setting their own pace
for-exereising and diet.
It is a do-it-yourself program, said
Loder, with participants scheduling
their own work-out times, the speed
at which they work and the amount
of weight they use.
The six-day regimen requires three
days of weight training and three
days of aerobic work, which can be a
20-minute walk along the Greenway
Trail.
For the weight training, residents
of Blyth and area have a unique
opportunity to make use of equip-
ment, in a semi-private facility, at lit-
tle cost to themselves. Through
donations, the former Church of God
building on McConnell Street now
houses weights, a treadmill and other
equipment needed for the program.
Loder said it is a nice place to
work out because with just enough
machinery for a couple of people,
participants can take a buddy along
and have the place to themselves. (It
is hoped more donations will allow
more participants at one time.)
Early risers, Loder and Cook go to
the facility from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m.,
already the second session of the
day.
Having completed her 12-week
session, Loder said she is going to
continue with the system.
Cook agrees, saying that once she
got past the stage of aching, the pro-
gram became part of her busy sched-
ule.
Before, Loder wondered how she
would ever fit an hour of training
into her jam-packed life, but now
finds it routine and the rest of her
day goes much more smoothly
because of the energy and enthusi-
asm she takes into it.
"It makes simple task's easier and
everything is done with more ease."
she added. "I am not as tired at the
end of my work day."
Cook said she hasn't been this size
in 40 years, having lost 10 to 12 lbs.
"You can start this program at any
age. Walking is now a joy as my legs
are strengthened."
She sees offering the program to
area residents as a service to the
community and a way to serve God
"It helps build one's confidence.
teaches discipline through goal set-
ting and provides a sense of accom-
plishment. We can serve God better
if we are healthy and fit. He wants
wholeness in our lives, not just in the
spiritual aspect."
