Fat 2 Fit

Carole's Fitness Decision

Carole describes herself as an accidental, unlikely promoter of fitness. Over the years, she went from a size 8 to a size 18, getting so out of shape that she developed several health problems.

Then, just shy of her 60th birthday, she stepped on the scale. And something happened this time that made her want to change her ways.

After a lifetime of failure, she was now determined to be successful. "Once and for all, I was going to get fit," Carole says.

Find out in this video what made Carole Carson, Fat2Fit community fitness coach, decide to shape up. And find out what three factors set her approach apart from others' fitness programs. (Hint: Think the opposite of self-torture and going it alone.)
