Thelocal health club has more members than ever, and the weight training and aerobicsclasses are always full. Finally, Plainsville's schoolchildren represent a newgeneration of potential customers: these schoolchildren are required toparticipate in a fitness-for-life program, which emphasizes the benefits ofregular exercise at an early age.
