registered nurse in the field of geriatrics and post-polio rehabilitation, and
is also the founder and host of the award winning exercise show Sit and Be
Fit, which is broadcast on over 100 PBS television stations across the United
States. In 1987, Wilson started the PBS show Sit and Be Fit which includes a
variety of exercises for the elderly and people with limited mobility. The
show revolves around exercises that can be done while sitting in or using a
chair, with little effort.[1] Wilson’s idea for Sit and Be Fit came in 1985
while she was teaching an adult aerobics class and noticed her clients
suffering numerous injuries and attrition. Wilson then began to see a vast
improvement in the health and well being of the students and began a trek to
have her idea spread on a national level. So in 1987, KSPS-TV agreed to air
her show and distributed 30 episodes nationwide. Wilson has so far produced
220 episodes and 24 home video workouts. Wilson has also written several
fitness manuals and has written several columns on health in the aging
community. Along with doing her show, Wilson also offers a variety of seminars
and lectures to health care professionals, caregivers and doctors at hospitals
around the United States. Wilson has also been a spokesperson for her
exercises and expertise at several national and international health
conferences. Wilson is also a teacher, attending nursing and retirement homes
whenever possible, in an attempt to develop new exercises for her program. SIT
AND BE FIT is designed in conjunction with a team of physical therapists and
recognized as a rehabilitative exercise program. In communities where SIT AND
BE FIT airs, occupational therapists and physical therapists recommend SIT AND
BE FIT to their patients as an excellent follow-up program to therapy. With
its safe, well-researched foundation, SIT AND BE FIT is recognized and
recommended by professionals in the healthcare industry. Physical Therapists
recommend SIT AND BE FIT for: Exercise after physical therapy Exercise for
post-surgery Exercise and rehabilitation Exercise for seniors Exercise for
those with disabilities Review “The SIT AND BE FIT program is practical,
effective and inspiring. It repeatedly makes the point that our bodies are our
most precious possession. It is highly recommended. –Walter M. Bortz II,
