LAKE PLACID –– It took a mishap to get Kathy Rouse started, but since age 24, it's been a life-long journey. It began when her doctor suggested an exercise program after she injured her back and put on weight. That's when Rouse lost 30 pounds and never gained it back.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays she teaches step aerobics at 4:30 p.m. and Pilates at 5:30 p.m. ...more
