Proud Healthy And Trim
The Funky Revolutionary Mind, Body and Spirit Workout was developed as part of Jackson State University's health initiative (P.H.A.T.).  The University is addressing head on issues of obesity, heart disease, hypertension and diabetes.  Members of the University are encouraged to eat better and the cafeteria menu has been modified to assist in that effort.  Jackson State is also the home of the only authorized school of public health in the state of Mississipi as well as the location of the largest epidemioligical study of African American health in the nation.

It is in the spirit of holistic improvement that The Funky Revolutionary Mind, Body and Spirit Workout is offered to the public.  It is a journey to being the best that you can be.  Each step of the path is a James Brown song .  The songs are preceeded by a motivational message from the President of Jackson State.  The beginners portion is designed for people who have never worked out at all. It starts slow and works up to the pace of a 15 minute mile. The advanced program starts at the pace of a 15 minute mile and moves up to as rigorous a three mile workout as you desire. 

Baby Boomers will enjoy the journey because they grew up on James Brown.  However anyone who wants to work their mind through the messages, their body through the movement and their souls through the music will enjoy as well.
