Fillmore Senior Center and SCAN Senior Resource Center have teamed up to offer a special 90-minute class to help seniors increase their strength, balance, endurance and agility through a home exercise program. "Senior Stretch at Home" will be held on August 8 at the Fillmore Senior Center at 533 Santa Clara St., Fillmore. A free Stretch Band Kit ($10 value) will be provided to participating seniors.
“Physical activity does not need to be strenuous or time-consuming,” said Bob McCullagh, a certified instructor and senior advocate with the SCAN Senior Resource Center. “My goal is to help people discover simple ways to make activity part of their day and help them reap the health rewards of being more active.”
This class is specifically designed for individuals who don't want to commit to an ongoing exercise class. Participants will gain:
• the motivation needed to get started,
• an understanding of what to do, and
• instruction from a fellow senior uniquely qualified to lead them into a higher level of fitness and health.
Refreshments will be served. Call 658-0365 for more information and to register. Space is limited.
