Vi Vi Vi Vi Vi Vi Vi Vi' Vi Vi United Press International PLANO — Out-of-shape women who are offended by the songs they hear in ordinary ex- ercise-to-music groups can now tone their muscles while God counts the beats. “Believer-cise,” a body condi tioning routine approved by many fundamentalist ministers, has spread from Texas to the west coast and is just the thing for those who desire to lose pounds in an inspirational atmosphere. “I was 30 pounds overweight after having my baby last year and needed to get back into shape,” said Believercise de veloper Cathi Stout. “My exer cise at a regular health spa was working, but I found unusual and new thoughts and patterns creeping into mind — different desires that were depressing, not uplifting. “I thought this was really weird, and told my mother ab out it. She said it might be the rock-and-roll music I heard at the classes. I decided this was true.” Stout, 27, has a background in dancing, choreography and cheerleading. She decided if other women could exercise to rock-and-roll, she could do it to gospel music. “So I started writing choreog raphy to gospel music, formed a small group in Plano, and it worked,” she said. More than 200 women are now involved in Believercise, mainly in Dallas and Plano. Stout said, however, classes are also under way in Portland, Ore., Los Angeles and San Diego. “The feedback we get is that the women enjoy the sessions be cause they are geared to pick up the spirit, not just the body. They are inspirational as well as physical,” she said. The classes run 45 to 55 mi nutes and are held twice weekly. Sessions begin with a slow gos pel song as a warmup for the dancers, then switch to a slightly upbeat number for mild cardio vascular exercise, then move into fast rhythm for the more strenuous movements. Stout said: “The dances in clude stretches for hips and thighs, then hips, legs, arms, pectoral, then a relaxer. All the songs are happy, motivational vocals by some of the better known contemporary gospel artists.” Beer served while you shop!
