COMMENTS\ Why they're involved
A few participants in Bodies for Christ at McGuffey Road Church of Christ share reasons why they're involved in the exercise class.
Karen Sykes-Dobbins: "I'm at a point in my life where I need this. I have diabetes, high blood pressure and MS (multiple sclerosis). ... I love the motivational part. It's all been very helpful. ... It's easier to keep up with it when you're with others."
Dianne Price: "I do feel better. ... This is not a typical exercise class. It's energizing and uplifting. ... I like the idea of using Bible verses. ... There are new faces every time we meet."
Carol Bell: "From the first day, this has helped me. ... I was sluggish and tired before and I have grandchildren to look after. The Scriptures do help you and you learn others."
Chiffon McCray: "It's not all about losing weight but being fit. ... I definitely feel better. .... The spiritual part and the encouragement from everyone is what keeps me here."
