John and Kate Minus Weight Program
Studies have shown dieting alone does not work and exercise alone does not work. But together, a correct nutritional program along with an individualized exercise prescription is the best plan for overall health and weight loss success. Mrs. Kate Jennings will analyze your current caloric intake and provide scientific based facts on how to adjust your eating habits to achieve your goals. Mr. John Walters will calculate your existing fitness level and prescribe an exercise program tailor made to meet your fitness needs. All interested members will also be monitored on a monthly basis checking not only your weight, but also your body composition (Body Fat Percentage and Body Mass Index.) Let John and Kate take the frustration out of the equation.
