                    CONGRATULATING GILAD JANKLOWICZ

 Mr. AKAKA. Mr. President, I wish today to honor Gilad 
Janklowicz from the great State of Hawaii in recognition of his 
induction into the National Fitness Hall of Fame in Chicago on 
Saturday, March 17, 2007.
  Gilad, a longtime resident of our beautiful State, is a pioneer in 
the fitness industry and one of the world's most popular fitness 
personalities. For over 23 years, he has helped over 38 million viewers 
stay healthy through his award winning instructional home fitness 
videos and popular television programs, ``Bodies in Motion,'' ``Basic 
Training the Workout,'' and ``Total Body Sculpt with Gilad.'' ``Bodies 
in Motion,'' which is filmed on location in the Hawaiian islands, is 
the longest running fitness show in the United States and was chosen as 
the No. 1 TV fitness program in the world by Self magazine.
  Since his years as a high school athlete where he excelled in track 
and field, Gilad has devoted his life to fitness and become a leading 
proponent of the fitness movement. His efforts to raise awareness of 
the importance of maintaining a regular fitness program along with a 
nutritional diet and proper medical care have helped millions around 
the world. Let me be the first to extend my warmest congratulations to 
Gilad Janklowicz for his well-deserved induction into the Fitness Hall 
of Fame. His life and work truly embody the aloha spirit of our State 
and serve as an example to us all. Mahalo.
