Mary Ann Wilson began her career as a registered nurse, specializing in geriatrics and post-polio rehabilitation. In 1985, while teaching aerobics to older adults, she noticed a high incidence of injury and attrition among my students. In response, she designed a gentle program tailored to their special needs. As students began reporting marked improvement in their physical and mental health, she became convinced that there was a need for this type of exercise program on a national level. With persistence, she convinced the PBS station, KSPS-TV, to produce the television program SIT AND BE FIT. In 1987 the first series of 30 programs was distributed nationally to PBS stations. The program was an instant success, and today, twenty years later, SIT ANB BE FIT remains a feature “how-to” program on public television.
