WEST SPRINGFIELD – One of several speakers at a local meeting of Roman Catholic women yesterday offered some unconventional advice:
Combine daily prayer with bicep curls.
Lynn Ann Covell, an exercise guru from Fox Run, Vt., addressed a gathering for the annual meeting of the Springfield Diocese’s chapter of the National Council of Catholic Women.
As she stalked up and down the carpets of a conference room at the Best Western Sovereign Hotel, Covell extolled the benefits of regular exercise for staying spiritual.
"It’s like there’s a giant magnet pulling us toward calamity, and it doesn’t leave us time to take care of ourselves. We need to keep the temple fit," said Covell, a return speaker at the 10-year old event. [Source]
Gee, I wonder if she saw my post here.

Hi Jeff,
No, actually …Inever read this post until today. I fell out of my chair laughing when I did!
A most awesome delivery of ideas! Sorry that I never read it before now. Keep up the good work!

LynnAnn — I was one of the grateful women who met you in Nov. 2007. I was urged on my walk with Sam by the thought of your 8 1/2 boot up my _ _ _!!! I was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis in Feb. and then after working back through rehab fell in a hole in White Plains and have now gone back 10 steps. I have received the OK to do upper body exercises — after checking my Fox Run notebook, I’m sure I knew the exercises when I wrote them but now they don’t make any sense. LynnAnn, I know things were in flux when I left before Thanksgiving. I hope all is well with you and your family. Hearing from you would be really SWEET!!!!! You’re great! Just a Tip — you’re an inspiration and I really want to get back to following your routine. Carole Heitmann
