In researching fitness programs for women of size, it became evident that there was a lack of program design and availability of certified trainers specializing in larger women. Providing a safe environment where women could exercise physically while feeling secure emotionally became Rice's passion. Designing a fitness technique where women of size could achieve a level fitness was the base of her graduate work.
