Walk Star Renetta

16 Feb Walk Star Renetta

WOW!!!! Renetta …. I LOVE this story …. thank you so much for sharing those unbelievable “statistical health improvements!”  Talk about evidence that walking is our BEST medicine!  I agree …. more MEN in our workouts of all ages!  Keep walking yourself and hubby ….HEALTHY!  Yeah TEACHERS!

My story is this and it is absolutely true!!!!!
I recently retired (June 2010) as a math teacher at a nearby high school.  This summer I was active becoming a grandma twice (July 7th and August 1st); our two daughters each had a baby.  It was a busy summer, but as of mid-September I was “back at the ranch”.

I wanted to become more physically fit as one of my retirement goals so that I could enjoy my retirement a few extra years!  Daughter #2, August 1st, mother is employed in HR at QVC, West Chester, PA.  She mentioned that Leslie Sansone visited QVC headquarters.  She met Leslie and also participated in some Power Walks at lunch, however limited herself to a mile due to her pregnancy.

She heard my quest for becoming a bit more fit and suggested the walking tapes and program.  I ordered a set of tapes and started on my journey!

This past week I had my regular six month check-up with my physician.   I have an under-active thyroid that needs monitored closely through blood work.  My doctor was amazed that my LDL cholesterol level dropped a full 16 points —- over a 10% drop.  My physician said it was a “significant change”.  In that I taught statistics for many years I replied that such a change was certainly “statistically significant”!!!!

I’m very pleased with the program!  I’ve “talked” my husband (a golfer) into also Leslie’s walks.  He was a bit hesitant, however he’s been doing the walks approximately three times a week.

In that we’re both seniors, we were talking and thought that there would certainly be a good market with the “baby boomers”!

One market that I think could be encouraged more is with men!!!! Perhaps an older men tape/DVD or even a seniors-oldie but goodie tape.  Some of the “youngins” on the tapes look so fit and “boppy””!  Perhaps  some white haired or even no haired seniors would open yet another market or increase the baby boomer market!

Thanks to Leslie and Company for my 16 point cholesterol drop!  That will keep me motivated throughout the winter and help get me in shape for shoveling snow and some cross country skiing provided we get enough snow!!!!

Sincerely yours,
Renetta F. Deremer

YOU ARE AWESOME Renetta!
