The Pinecone
|
August 2014
My mother retired at age 72, after more than 50 years of nursing.
Just a few months later, she began volunteering at the same
hospital where her children were born and her husband
passed away. She loved having a reason to get up and
get going. Even now at 88, she still volunteers twice a
month.
Retired persons may leave their jobs, but they don’t
have to leave the things they loved about their
work. One thing I love about working is having
a routine to get out of the house for a job I love
where I feel welcomed and encouraged. Our
exercise programs can become a wonderful
routine with benefits that improve strength,
balance, and endurance. In our classes
you are always learning a new skill and
experiencing new challenges, some
physically demanding and even some
mental. It is an opportunity to put out
your best effort (whatever that may be).
When you finish, you get that feeling of
satisfaction that you accomplished something that day.
Several residents have picked up new skills learning to use free weights
properly and developing routines on the Nu-Step machine and the other weight
bearing resistance equipment. In our group classes, you will gain not only strength
and improved balance, but also encouragement and a team spirit as you work out
together. Put us on your schedule and come to work out with us. The benefits will
profit your health and well-being.
