Her team of
doctors was nothing but shocked when just three weeks post surgery, Marlene
Chait was back to her ACT the Workout class.
She explains,
“They kept asking me, do you feel pain? Are you in pain? And I said no! I need
to get back to Marie and my workout class!”
68 year old
Chait has been taking ACT the Workout three times a week for over 15 years and
working out with ACT instructor Maria Castellucci for
over 25 years. Last summer she was diagnosed with dangerous uterine cancer and
within weeks had a complete hysterectomy.
According to
Marlene her doctors told her she was very lucky that it was caught early. She
shares, “They said everything is fine now, and that I recovered so quickly
because I’m in shape and I take care of myself.”
Chait credits
ACT the Workout for her physical strength and positive outlook.
“Marie is so
upbeat and we sing and dance during part of the workout. It doesn’t feel like
exercise because we are having so much fun!”
