The residents of District 6 can expect a newly fit Councilor in about six weeks as Councilwoman Sheila Tyson is officially pushing for change in her own health. “I want to be an example to our citizens and prove that you can make healthy changes in your day to day busy schedules,” Tyson said.
Councilor Tyson took to the City Hall gym immediately following Birmingham City Council Meeting this past Tuesday with personal fitness trainer Curtis Starks and Dr. Mark Wilson of the Jefferson County Department of Health to weigh in, receive a health consultation and 20 minute exercise drill.
“These days, it’s hard for everyone to find the time to get to the gym like they’d like to,” Tyson said. “I thought it was important for me to publicly share my own challenges – including my weight – so that people would see they are not alone in trying to live a healthier life.”
