The 17 regular and 11 occasional participants
in the newly-formed informal Older Adult Walking/Fitness Group
have just completed their 54th exercise session at the
Whitefish Lake First NationÃs Community Centre.
Laughter and conversations took place as we
walked, did warm-ups, stretches, low-impact aerobics and
strengthening exercises. It was great for body, mind and
spirit.
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped lead
and motivate us, provided music, phoned members, set up chairs
and collected fees. It was definitely a team effort.
We'd like to express our appreciation to the
Whitefish Lake First Nation's Home and Community Care Program
for inviting us to be a part of this Breaking the Barriers
initiative. Everyone enjoyed the experience.
Special thanks to Elizabeth Richer and
Victoria Petahtgoose for their support of our informal Older
Walking/Fitness Group.
We look forward to working together in the
fall.
