Great show! By far the best workout program on tv. Low impact, good cardio mixed with strength training is just the ticket for this 44 year old! My weight has been going up and down since the birth of my twins almost 6 years ago. You have motivated me to take off these 25 pounds and keep them off! Love the music and devotionals. Keep up the good work and God bless you, Jennifer!
Dear Jennifer,
I recently found your program on the NRB network at 9:00am where I
live in Florida. I’m very thankful because I’ve been trying to get to
a healthier weight for years! Your program has really helped me become
more consistent. God bless you!
Good Morning Jennifer!
Thanks so much for your wonderful exercise show on the NRB network!
Your encouragement and laughter make working out fun!
God Bless You and Rise Up! Ministries,
Suzanne
Hi Jennifer,
I enjoyed exercising with you this morning as I do most mornings. I am so glad you are on an early morning program. I feel much better after exercising with you to get my day started. I love the Lord, and enjoy all the verses you recite as you exercise.
God Bless You in all that you do.

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for a wonderful workout program. It is the best workout I’ve ever seen on tv.
Thanks so very much.
Blessings,

Love your show. Trying to get in shape. You’re great.
Hi Jennifer!
Thank you so much for being obedient to doing Rise Up! Ministries. I had been wanting for quite some time to get into an exercise routine at home as I was too embarassed how out of shape I was to try a gym and too afraid I would not be able to keep up. My family knowing I wanted to get into a routine even bought a few DVDs for me but I was unable to keep up and got discouraged. I have also checked out countless fitness programs on tv only to get discouraged again because they would start out slow for the first few minutes and then I felt I had to be a superchick to keep up. I remember thinking, Lord I just need someone to show me the basics, someone I can keep up with to some degree and not feel like such a loser if I can’t. Within that week, while channel surfing, I discovered your program. After watching it a couple of times, prescreening to see if it was at a pace I could keep up with, you actually said “getting back to the basics”. How gracious and loving our God is, who knows our thoughts and desires of our heart. It was not only what I had been searching and asking God for, but your sweet spirit is exactly what I needed as well. You not only encourage to persevere but tell us how, i.e. “just keep moving” or “go back to marching in place”, or “bicycle” instead of crunches. You have helped me feel better physically as well as emotionally. God is so good! Thank you so much! You are truly a God send!
Good morning Jennifer!
I have been exercising with you during the summer months and school
holidays–I’m a school teacher and your program airs during the
instructional day at 9am. Your program is absolutely wonderful
(Ephesians 3:20). There are many secularized protestant based exercise
programs on the air that concentrate on the exercise movements without
the love and nurture of Christ’s spirit (I Timothy 4:8)–but yours is
a Holisitic Christ-based exercise programs that include care as you
minister instructions, warmth, laughter, Christ-likness and
mindedness, nutrition with both you and the good doctor, and you
invitation to Christ’s salvation. You offer true repentance–a change
of mind in heart in every area of one’s life. ( Luke 11:36;I Thess
5:23-24)
God bless you and yours (Psalm 115:14) and make you as in Deu 1:11. I
will purchase your 2 videos and gift another by the end of June.
Be ye blessed!

Dear Jennifer,
Thank you very much for your exercise program. I enjoy it very much every day. I love those verses that you recite they make the work out very fulfilling. God has been good to me and I’m glad you Rise up to your calling. Please send me the grocery list I’d appreciate it. Great work out! God bless.

Hi Jennifer,
I discovered your program a while back and what a God send it’s been to me. I am a very active 54 year old, still have a cleaning business and never seem to slow down, and because of this, I don’t have a lot of spare time to exercise and most mornings, don’t have time to do your program, so we TIVO it and I do it when I get home. I like the program because it’s not an hour long and feels like just enough for me since I get plenty of exercise with my cleaning business. I love doing the light weights too, because above all things, at my age, I need some “sculpting.” : – ) Sometimes I wish the program was just a bit longer with workouts though. : – )
Just so I can praise our wonderful God this morning, I wanted to share my story with you. Last year in October, I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer and it’s supposed to be the worst of all breast cancers. Once it shows on the outside, it’s already spread to the inside. Well, all glory to God, but he healed me, and then showed me how to keep the healing. I feel he’s been prepping me for the last 14 years for this very day, because I’ve been researching and learning as much as I can, and when I realized what was going on with me, I immediately asked for healing of course, but God also led me to a Natural Doctor. I did many, many things, but I never once had Chemo, drugs or toxins of any kind. Do NOT put poison into an already sick body, is what God tells me. So, we focused on pumping up the immune system, which is why I had cancer anyway, and getting my body back to health. There was a whole lot involved, not all of it fun, but all of it better than being very sick and losing my hair and breast as well. I eat 80% of my diet in Whole foods and juice on a daily basis. Isn’t our God great?
I pray that any woman who may read this and doesn’t know about IBC, will research it and learn all they can about it. It’s something that’s very misdiagnosed, even to this day. Doctor’s say it’s a spider bite or mastitis or whatever, and many have died from this, even as young as 16 years old. There is no reason for anyone to die with cancer, cancer is just a symptom of a very sick body with an immune system that’s not working correctly. Ask God for guidance. Again, I praise HIM and give HIM all the glory!!
In his name,
Sue Ledbetter
Was sitting on the couch flipping channels and ran across your show. I know it was no accident that I found it. God has been working on me to take better care of the temple He has given me. I’m so thankful to discover a program that focuses on my spiritual and physical well-being. Thank you for being faithful to the call that God has given you. I look forward to working out with you every day. God bless!
Hi Jennifer, Love the show! Please send the free info on eating program that you offer on your show. I would really appreciate it thank you!
Hello Jennifer,
I was advised by my physician that i can do moderate but long exercising. Your program is just right for me. It’s the prescription he ordered. I’m grateful I found an exercise regimen that will help and not injure my health. It’s especially helpful that you encourage your viewers along the way reminding us that it’s okay not to do everything and it’s okay to modify, etc. Telling us that makes us feel as if we’re still keeping up, we’re still part of everything even if we’re not in sync.
I love your chatting about the Lord while you exercise. Never found that before. It’s wonderful.
Margaret
I have been working out with you since Feb 2010. I have a neuro-muscluscular dis order & have not been able to care for my body like I once did. I was just getting weaker & sicker. I “WATCHED” your programs for several weeks…& then started @ (don’t laugh) 2 minutes per workout. I am able to go for the full 17….but not at your pace or strenght. I take steriods so that I move, walk, & exist. They put weight on you like nobody’s business. Since Feb., I have gone from 197 lbs. to 175.
I just wanted you to know where God led me to help myself in a way that no other person could do for me.
Thanks
Marcie H Missouri

I saw your session for the first time today. It was just what I needed; the combination of weights and cardio. I love the biblical principles that are presented during the session as well. Please send me the meal plan information that’s being offered. I look forward to getting healthier while hiding nuggets of truth in my heart. Thanks!
just wanted to say hello and have a blessed day thanks for returning your kind message and thanks for the helpful hints have a blessed day
I always have been heavy, However I weighed 122 when I got married then had two children and weighted 224 I got down to 170 and then climbed back to 200 down to 196. In January I started taking all natural herbs for BP and went off the meds from the Doctor who never said how much better I would feel or ways to encourage me . which I have taken since 16. BP is holding as well as it did with other meds and I started walking in Jan 2010. 15 mins 30mins a day and now I walk a hour a day and by Friday I have 10miles in for the week. I have been feeling better than most of my life. Iam energized from walking. I struggle with cookies and tea. However Our Heavenly Father has helped me to have a changed of attitude which kept me from enjoying exercise, not anymore and than I found your Rise Up Program and decided to add it your words and scripture flood my soul as I meditate on God’s word and than Praise the Lord for his blessings as I walk burdens are relieved for a lost child and wisdom in how My Lord will speak thru me each day for her. I now at 57 have great joy in the work Iam becoming in the Lord. Your show is added help as I start to make little changes in foods and I feel better as I said than most of my life. PTL Your ministry is a spiritual lift and physical Blessing. I have exercised off and on all my life but, your program motivates me just like Our Father’s gentle hand on my life. God Bless you friend in Christ. Deb

Hi Jennifer, I am a pastor’s wife in Salyersville Ky. While I have many duties in the church I also have to take time for my temple as well. With your help I am able to do that. I even have my husband working out with you when he gets home from work. Within 6 weeks of your program I dropped a pant size and now some of my new clothes are getting loose as well. I love how you incorporate scripture as well as medical into the program and you have a wonderful personality. I definately plan to stick with you. Feel free to visit my church website at (communityfreewillbc.weebly.com) Thanks and God Bless…Juanita
I want to thank you for your program. My mother and I work out to you
almost every morning. You are such an inspiration to us. We have lost
inches and gained a bright outlook on excercising and in Gods word.
We thank the Lord for you. Have a great day! See you tommorrow

Hi Jennifer,
We watch you show every morning and we exercise with you. We really enjoy it. I noticed this week you seemed to have a home/house for your studio. Was this from your early beginnings? All before, it seemed to be in a studio. You have grown, Praise the Lord.
On the program, you asked us to write you for a meal plan and info on eating right to lose weight as you have done.
I thank you for anything you can email to us.
God Bless and have a blessed week.
Love,
Dolores and Roosevelt
Dear Jennifer,
We are still exercising with you nearly every day, we’re in our 70′s and although I must take heart medicine and can’t in any way get my heart at my target rate, (Bill,my husband can) I love the way the workouts keep me limber, and just feeling good. Even more importantly, we are Christians and appreciate your ministry in the Lord so very much. It’s wonderful to see you in modest clothing, and hear you give us scriptures every day. We love your daughter too.
We’re sending an offering to you and will try to be more faithful in that reguard. We’re sending it by mail. Bill is my husband and my name is Joy. We appreciate you Jennifer, may God continue to bless you, your family and His ministry through you.

Hi Jennifer!
I stumbled on your program one morning after my daily Bible study
with Joyce Meyer. She is on TBN and I flipped the channels and caught
you on NRB. What a refreshing and uplifting way to start the day.
I am trying to lose a few pounds and really need to eat healthier.
Thank you for all you do to encourage me and others to take of this
temple we have been given.
Sincerely,

Hello Jennifer.
Five months ago I was told I had yype 2 diabetes. I have been
through other medical problems but this is the one that really scared
me.
While researching info on the web I happened to have the tv on and
your show came on. I knew I needed to exercise and change my diet and
overall way of life. to much sitting around and to many donuts.
I have always had a positive outlook but I was not looking forward to
a strenous exercise program that I would no be able to do.
Thank God for your show. I watch almost every morning and now have my
personal trainer in you, thank you so much.
With your show and following a healthy eating program I have lost
over thirty pounds and have almost reached my goal weight. I have your
dvd’s. Keep up your life changing work. And God bless your ministry.
Jennifer,
I feel I know you well because I rise every morning and work out
with you and Dr. Collins. Thank God for you and your faithfulness toward your
purpose in life. I’ve been greatly helped!
Ruthie Bradley
I’ve been working out with you for over a month. I’ve noticed an
improvement in my overall well being. Thanks for being on the NRB. I
would greatly appreciate it if you could email the meal ideas you talk
about on your broadcast. Thanks and may God continue to bless you,
your family, and your ministry.
Hello Jennifer:

Grace, Peace & Blessings to You,
In the Love of Christ,

Hey Jennifer,
I’ve been working out with you almost everyday since January. I’ve
even got your DVD’s and worked out with you on the weekends. I’ve
taken you with me on a cruise and to the beach and you’re going with
me again to the beach in August and on a mission trip to Malta in
September.
I work at in a church office as a ministry assistant. On January 12th
we started a Biggest Loser contest, for 6 months. Our final weigh-in
was this past Tuesday. 17 people started and only 2 people finished,
myself being one of the 2. I’m happy to report with YOUR help, I won
the contest and in 6 months I’ve lost 17.18% of my total weight!!!! I
still have a long way to go and have many more pounds I want to get
off and with your continued help, I will do so!!!
I just wanted to share this with you since you are such a BIG part of
my weighloss.
By the way, I love the new workouts that have been airing the past
couple of weeks.
Thanks again for your help!! I’ll keep you posted.
Have a blessed day.

Hi Jennifer, I stumble upon Rise Up Ministry on 7/29/10. I really enjoy your workouts. The warmup is at a good pace (not fast like so many others) and it stays pretty consistent throughout the whole workout where I can keep up and finish the whole workout. You are my new personal trainer. Many blessings and to GOD be the Glory!
Still hanging in there i doing more and more everyday May God bless you
Hi Jennifer, I stumbled one morning upon Rise Up Minstry on 8/5/10. I thought I’ll try it and i just loved it. I have some back issues so I was very pleased that I found your workout. The workout isn’t very intense but at the same time leaves me feeling like i had a great workout. Although I have just started your program I can say that I will continue with it since my body is responding well. Thank you so much for your inspiration and all the tid-bits you give. Please send me the meal plan you have mentioned on your program. Blessing to you.
Deb
Thanks Jennifer! I have used your workout to “pre-hab” for hip replacement
surgery and didn’t even need to go to rehab after surgery! I still excercise
daily and TIVO the show on NRB. I just purchased 2 of your DVD’s.
I really like your encouraging words and gentle spirit and how you always
remember to praise Him give Him all the Glory.
I love the music too, especially when the workout ends with the words
“you made it”
Pam
Praise be to GOD who is worthy.
Jennifer,
I just wanted to say that you have the most beautiful spirit that
emanates from your being.I truly believe that GOD has anointed your
smile and the tone of your voice. It has a rather calming effect
You are truly a Beautiful Child of GOD.
What a wonderful assignment that you have been given by the LORD.
Your encouraging words are like apples of gold in pitchers of silver
(words that are fitly spoken).
Warmest Regards,
Parrish
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for writing to me. I just completed my sixth week of exercising with Rise Up. On my last report I had not lost much weight, but glory be to God, I am starting to drop the weight. I have lost inches my clothes are starting to be very loose. Thank you for all you do. I am 37 years old and this is the first exercise program I have ever been consistant with. I thank God for your gift of edification and the way you intergrate the Word of Life into your show.
Michelle Milton
Jennifer,
I just found your program this week. I recently got direct TV
I’ve enjoyed working out with you each morning. The scripture you
share is great!
God bless you,
Cindy
May the Lord bless the good work you are doing.I tuned in to your show for the first time and being a couch potato the Lord started me to exercise with you.I have been diagnosed with borderline diabetes and must lose weight too. I am 65 years old. God Bless you and your ministry. sincerely brenda cohen.
Jennifer,
I came across your program the other day and have incorporated your 9:00 program every morning now! It has been so healing to my body and refreshing to my mind. I have kidney disease and the low impact is just perfect for my body! Truly, a gift from The Almighty! Thank you for all you do! It has changed my life!
Good morning Jennifer,
Your show is just what I have been looking for. I am 45 and the mother of 8. I used to run 5 miles a day, but since the birth of my 8th child 5 years ago I have not been exercising as much as I used to. I had been able to go back to my pre-pregancy weight after all my children. After a hysterectomy 3 years ago I have gained 15 lbs which I need to loose. Thanks so much for doing this program. You are on at 9:00 am here in South Carolina which is the perfect time for me to exercise. I so enjoy your program.
Your show is exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks Jennifer for what you do your program is truly a blessing!!!!
Jennifer,
I am so excited to have discovered your workout program via satellite. I have struggled being able to meet the demands of my toddler, housework, a new puppy and all the other mommy duties. I had been frustrated, knowing I needed to find time to exercise, time to read and pray and spend some time in worship at home. My husband is a youth pastor/student minister and I teach a toddler class, so we are very busy. I joined you on today’s program and am encouraged that I can me fed spritually as well as physically and all at the same time. I am looking forward now to waking up a little early tomorrow and hope my toddler doesn’t wake up too. After selling our puppy this weekend, I believe things will be looking up and I can focus more on myself and in turn be able to minister in the overflow and not be depleted. thank you, thank you, thank you
Jennifer,
I want to thank you for your program that airs at 8am in my city. I have never been one to exercise much but since turning 50 it seems I was worn out and tired all the time. I started doing a little of your work out in Sept. and gradually have been able to build up to do a little more each week. I can feel a difference in my body – so much that I ‘ve
gotten your dvds so I can do them more often. You are so gentle and encouraging – always speaking God’s word to keep me motivated. Thanks so much for your ministry!
Hey Jennifer, still lovin the workout but I was wandering if and when there will be a rise up soundtrack available. I love the songs played during abs and stretch. It would be a great mix to listen to while driving or cleaning house. GOD BLESS, Juanita
Hi Jennifer,
I want to thank you for your exercise show and the inspiration that
you’ve given to me in glorifying the Lord and living a healthier life.
I have lost 14 lbs. and several inches in the last few months by
exercising to your program daily and living a healthier life style
through Christ.
Thank you & Love to You
Linda
Dear Jennifer, I have been a yo yo dieter for the last 22 years. I was
never able to maintain a specific size of clothing. My closet had
clothing ranging from a size 6 thru size 10. It wasnt until I
recognized that I needed to go to Jesus for the comfort I needed in my
life that I began to get some balance as far as my weight was
concerned.I knew I had to exercise and even participated in different
classes, but I did not have the spiritual tenacity to persevere. When
I discovered your program on NRB I was so excited. Many exercise
classes target the result of looking “hot”. My desire was to honor God
with my body, not myself. I floundered for a very long time because I
didnt want to persue glory for myself. I knew the ending would not be
any different than my former attempts if I exercised for my glory.
Your show took away my excuses!!I have been a faithful exerciser now
for the past seven months, and if you knew me you would know that is
nothing short of a miracle!! Thank you for your focus on Jesus
throughout your workout. He deserves all the glory and you give it to
Him through your program.
Praise The LORD sister jennifer, I would like to give GOD glory on behalf of your good works with your GOD ordained fitness ministry!!! I finally have the motivation and strength to go up against this overweight giant at 49 yrs old. I have been more than a conquerer in many areas of my life, but never wanted to deal with my weight issue. I was blessed to have a baby at 41 yrs old at our surprise and also gained a whole lot of weight. I have never been sickly or had any operations until I needed a C-section with my last baby. I ended up with a umbilical hernia some years later while working at my last job. Went in for a routine surgery and ended up having 2 more because my body was allergic to everything they used in my stomache. I had to quit work because all that left me with a disability, however i kept gaining weight!!!!! I prayed for help with myself and GOD gave me YOU!!! I LOVE your SPIRIT!!!! GOD BLESS YOU and YOURS.
