We all know we need to exercise for good long-term health but, for many of us, our size makes it difficult to do so. Whether it's because we're embarrassed, have physical limitations, can't find the time or simply lack motivation -- exercise is something we all need to do but often don't do enough of.

Rochelle Rice, MA, founded in 1990 and is the President of In Fitness & In Health and the creator of the Plus-Size Exercise Technique. In researching fitness programs for women of size, Rochelle realized there was a lack of program design and availability of certified trainers specializing in larger women. With her history of bulimia, Rice's interest in Plus-Size Exercise came through her concerns about the inordinate stress put on thinness in our society, rather than fitness. Providing a safe environment where women could exercise physically while feeling secure emotionally, became Rice's passion. Designing a fitness technique where women of size could achieve a level fitness was the base of her graduate work.

Since 1990, Rochelle has helped many PCOSers achieve a higher level of fitness activity. She recently appeared on Good Morning America and has been featured in several publications including Family Circle and MODE Magazines. She has spoken at many conferences and will be conducting several sessions at PCOSA's 5th annual conference, "The PCOS Puzzle: Piecing it Together" which is being held May 30 - June 1, 2002 in Minneapolis. For more information or to register for the conference visit http://www.pcosupport.org/events/conference.php. Rochelle's sessions include a Minnesota River Valley Wildlife Preserve Trail Walk, a general session on "Un-Exercise" and "Fitness and Justice for All".

A fellow PCOSer had this to say about Rochelle:

"It has now been 7 months since I met Rochelle. I have gone from doing just 10 minutes of movement individually with her to taking one full hour class of Dance Aerobics -- that in itself is a huge accomplishment for me. Recently I started taking the second half of the earlier class -- I get to the studio at 10:30-and jump right into the first class, then complete the second class. That is 90 minutes of movement -- unreal and unheard of for me until now! Afterwards, we meet individually for 90 minutes. I don't think I could ever even begin to express the magnitude and depth of emotional healing that has gone on during our meetings. Rochelle is exceptionally warm, talented and supportive. I can cry in front of her-bear my heart and soul to her and still fell safe and secure."

Attend the "The PCOS Puzzle: Piecing it Together" on May 30 - June 1, 2002 in Minneapolis to not only hear about Rochelle's new approach to exercising but most importantly to experience it! In fact, if you are already a member of PCOSA or if you are attending with a registered conference attendee you get $25 0FF your conference registration fee.
