Fun Facts Fun Ways CDs reflect Peggy's dedication to education, health, and fitness.
She says:
"I was influenced by my high school PE teacher. She impressed me as a woman who enjoyed what she did. I thought I would too. I started running in 1983 and haven't stopped. I would like to live a long and healthy life. Fitness and nutrition is the recipe to obtain this objective. Fitness always seemed like a common sense way of life (as an adult) it just makes sense to do what you can to stay healthy. Most of the people I work with just need some direction, accountability , nutrition guidelines to get them started. Once they develop the healthy lifestyle, they can generally move ahead on their own. Being a CPT is very rewarding because my clients and students are sincerely appreciative of my knowledge, expertise and time. I care and it shows."
Peggy plans to develop additional Fun Facts Fun Ways products to on new subjects and aimed for various age groups.
