Testimonials
Florence "Lynn" Paul
Florence "Lynn" Paul can always be seen walking around town or helping at community and church functions. She is a faithful WISEWOMAN member, attending exercise five times a week.
Since 2003, Lynn has lost 13 pounds and made healthy lifestyle changes. "I cut down on fatty foods, drink lots of water, and snack on veggies and fruit." She enjoys cooking healthy meals for her family.
Lynn learned from her WISEWOMAN health assessment that she can reduce her risk for heart disease by eating healthy and being active. She enrolls in every walking program offered by SEARHC Health Promotion, and has participated in all of the Saturday Community Walks for Health.
This 55-year-old woman just doesn't slow down. "I have lots of energy now." When she isn't doing TaeBo or walking exercises with the WISEWOMAN program, she exercises at home with videotapes or goes for walks with her husband.
All the children holler after "Grandma Lynn" on her walks. She is happy to donate her time to help out at the swimming pool so the kids can get exercise.
Everywhere she goes, Lynn brings fun and laughter; doing the twist, the Electric Slide, and cheering with the Red Hot Mama's, a group of 40-and-older rambunctious cheerleaders who aren't afraid to have a good time. She is looking forward to adding the StrongWomen program, a strength-training program, to her exercise regimen later this fall. Lynn is truly a role model for wellness. Go, Lynn!!!
