About World Fitness Day World Fitness Day is a strategic initiative using fun, high energy, entertainment and celebrities—and bringing together thousands of participants to raise awareness for a common goal—healthy lifestyles. The World Fitness Day 2010 event was conceived by Jane Fonda to celebrate the benefits of good health and to focus attention on the important role of health and wellness in the prevention of teen pregnancy, a cause which Fonda has championed for 16 years. The World Fitness Day 2010 workout will benefit the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (G-CAPP).
About G-CAPP The mission of the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention is to eliminate adolescent pregnancy in Georgia by developing, establishing and supporting ideas and programs that build local and statewide capacity to promote the healthy development of our most vulnerable adolescents. G-CAPP, a non-profit organization, was founded by Jane Fonda in 1995. For more information about G-CAPP visit: www.gcapp.org.

Hi Jane and Richard!
Jane, I am wondering if you watch Bill O’Really at all. You were on there yesterday! heh heh
Mr. Bill does a thing called pinhead or patriot… and you were the patriot! How about that?!? heh heh I only mention this in case you missed it and no one told you.
I must admit I forget why you were chosen or who the pinhead was, but you were there nonetheless!
I figure that no matter what or why you would like to hear that you are a patriot!! It makes me giggle, so I thank you for that and hope you are not offended.
I will check back with more later perhaps…

California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger will also deliver a video tribute to all participants. He should be looking for a new job soon. THE fitness event of the year, that would be fun.

Hi Jane,
I notice that a lot of the events you organize and/or attend have very expensive ticket prices. I was just wondering why you participate in those events when it’s highly unlikely that young people can afford to go. Doesn’t it get tiring seeing the same people/same age group every time?

Go Jane Go! As always, the entrepreneur in you always finds the perfect combination of what the world needs both in terms of a product but also in terms of a cause. My admiration continues to grow. Have a fantastic inaugural fitness day! I wish you all the best.

Hi Jane,
I just saw you on GMA. That’s how I found out about World Fitness Day. I live in Roswell, and plan on attending now. I’m a NASM Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist. I train several seniors, and am so excited that you are focusing on the 50+ group in upcoming workout videos.
I have clients who initially tell me all the things they can’t do until I show them they can, and that it doesn’t have to be intense.
I’m 52 years old, and hope to still be exercising when I’m 100. 🙂

Jane,
I was wondering if you’re going to have any Zumba classes at World Fitness Day? It’s a latin inspired dance cardio class but is truely representative of dance moves from all over the world. I’m a Zumba instructor and would love to see Zumba at Fitness Day:):) It’s a BLAST!!

Jane, I am a retired Delta Flight Attendant and
applaud your latest effort for women in my age group. Think I still have several pair of the
“leg warmers” and would proudly wear them again!!
I am a much healthier person due to a lifetime of
working out and you certainly were “with me in the
beginning.” Yet – at this state … need your
inspiration again and listening to you today on ABC got my “attention.” I would like to be there in Atlanta (HOME OF MY AIRLINE) to share the “moment” … Inaugural Fitness Day. You look
fantastic!!

I soo wish I lived in ATL. Everything happens there. Wishing you tons of participants. Heck, Richard Simmons there would be all I need. I love him.

Hi Jane,
Saw you this morning on Good Morning America. Firstly, you look fabulous and I love the hair!
I was thrilled to hear that you are starting a movement for people that are older. I turn 60 this year. I’ve enjoyed aerobic classes through the years, but now have some limitations due to a herniated disc. I recently visited a new woman gym and inquired on fitness classes for woman over 50. I was told that they did not offer classes for senior citizens at this time, but that I could try a regular class and work at my own pace! I know I look 50 and was not impressed with the response. I take my daily walk, but I so miss being part of a class. I recently retired from my 9 to 5 job and moved to a new city, so lots of changes. I’ve tried working at my own pace in the past, but my mind wants to workout one way and my body another….
I’m in Eastern Canada so I won’t be in Atlanta but I will be watching. I think there is a defnite need out there.
Good luck with this new venture,
Jeannette

Jane: This is an awesome idea and you are the right voice at the right time! Your abilities to identify a need and lead the way continue to inspire … keep up the good work.

Could you tell me who is your hairdresser here in Atlanta and also who was you plastic surgeon. I’m 68 and need a new look so bad.
Thanks,

You might want to invite the 1st Lady to make an appearance, being that fitness is one of he main issues.
Her attendance would be great for the cause!!!

Hello Jane,
I work with Foot Solutions.. one of the vendors who will be in the Fitness Zone during the event. We have a great product called Balance Walking Poles that can help people get in shape in just 15 minutes a day by burning almost 50 percent more calories than regular walking. Perfect for time-crunched people who still want to get in shape! Is there any way you can demonstrate some of these products during the show? Please stop by our booth. We would love to show you how they work because they are lightweight, great for any age and effective! Thanks Jane… Good luck with your debut event!
