SWEATING TO THE OLDIES!!


Upon arrival at the Virginia Artisan Center in downtown Martinsville, the students were asked to get ready to shake their hips as they entered a room filled with oldies dance music. Everyone soon caught on and danced to three full songs, following Richard Simmon's footsteps on a projected video screen. And the payoff? Exercise, of course, and an opportunity to prepare a healthy beef and vegetable stir fry with popover biscuits.

Here, the participants are led through a series
of stretches as they are told the importance of exercise.
(Did you know that this is the first generation in history that is
expected to NOT outlive the ages of their parents?)










Learning the moves!










Measuring the buscuit recipe before mixing.










The "Ninja" mixer, as seen on T.V.,
being utilized by a curious, and impressed,
student.













Discussing chopping methods with
the instructor for the stir fry.













Adding the final tomatoes and onions
to the stir fry. How delicious the kitchen smelled!
