The session includes time with an Exercise Specialist as well as a supermarket shopping tour and culinary demonstration.

“Coursework” emphasizes meal planning, behavior modification, caloric needs, psychological factors that influence weight loss success, as well as the importance of a regular exercise routine. Weekly sessions actually include the opportunity to spend time in the Back-To-Life Gym with an Exercise Specialist. Registered Dietitians also spend a portion of class time with participants in a local supermarket setting to assist in stocking the pantry at home for success right from the beginning!

The staff at the SpineCare Center understands that the key to weight control and improved overall health is a combination of healthy diet and regular exercise. In addition to Slender U, The SpineCare Center offers the Back to Life fitness program. Each member of Back to Life is given an individualized fitness program developed by an Exercise Specialist. A combination of diet and exercise is necessary for optimal weight loss success.
