To help her in her goal, Karen’s friend suggested that she enroll in a BodyStep class. Together, they had been regularly attending classes for months. The light but rigorous movements which last up to 55

minutes per session had done a lot to improve Karen’s body figure. In a matter of 4 months, she was able to lose up to 40 pounds. When their prom came up, it was a big success for her to finally be able to wear her dream dress—and dance with the cute guys whom never paid attention to her before.
