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.”
