Dearest Fitness Lady Family,
 
 It was in 1995 that I wrote and sent out the first Fitness Lady Family Newsletter.  The purpose was to keep you informed of the latest research in the field of fitness and health! 
 
The name of our newsletter: Fit-ly Spoken: What's In, What's Out, What's Happening, What's Not.
 
Back then we said;
 
What's In?  Correct exercise form for greatest results.
 
What's out?   Cheating on form, using momentum to lift.
 
What's Happening? Lifestyle changes in baby steps to decrease injury.
 
What's not?  Quick fixes to reduce weight gain.
 
This wisdom has not changed over the years and it is my hope, as we say “so long”, never goodbye, that you remember these words of wisdom.  Continue to be your best, Get Fit and Stay Fit and stay close to the many friendships you have made.
 
Join us for a fun workout this Saturday, the 14th, at 9:30 AM as we celebrate the holidays in festive clothing and enjoy some treats too!
 
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and remember the best present you can give is your presence!  We love you.
 
 Your Partners in Fitness,

   ​ It is estimated that there are approximately 44 million people worldwide living with Alzheimer’s disease or a related form of dementia. In the U.S., an estimated 5.5 million people of all ages have Alzheimer’s disease. Of these, around 5.3 million are 65 and older and 200,000 are younger and have early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
     About two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease are women. This equals to 3.3 million women, age 65 and older having Alzheimer’s disease in the U.S. and two million men.
     Reports from the National Institute on Aging indicate that the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease doubles every five years beyond the age of 65. As the population ages, the disease impacts a greater percentage of people. At present, someone in the U.S. develops Alzheimer’s disease every 66 seconds. It is thought that by the middle of the century, someone in the U.S. will develop the disease every 33 seconds and the total number of people with Alzheimer’s disease in the U.S. could rise to as high as 16 million people by 2050.
