December 2014
Don’t let the business of the holidays steal the progress you have made this year
in your strengthening exercise program. With special parties and a full schedule
of events, remember to schedule some time for the Oasis and/or your favorites
exercise class. Bring your family with you to the warm pool. Take walks with the
kids around the lake or show them all
the wonderful decorations around the
halls of Kirby Pines. Christmas can be
hectic and overwhelming, but a good
walk outside can bring some peace and
quiet, solitude and retrospect. Take the
time to unwrap the gift of comfort and
joy as we celebrate the birth of our Lord
Jesus.
Come join us for a Christmas Stroll
through the beautifully decorated halls
of Kirby onMonday, December 15. This
“
Walk with Ease” Class Reunion will
meet in the Small Card Room at 10:30
to do our warm-up and stretches, walk
for about 30 minutes and then gather
back in the SCR for some Christmas
treats. Invite your friends to join in on
this fun event.

Make your New Year’s resolution to include signing up for the Walk across
America Program that Oasis will be offering in January. Participants
may begin registering January 5, 2013. The program will run from
January 12 through March 9 and will last 8 weeks. We will keep
track of how many miles each participant walks, or completes
on the Nu-Step or treadmill on their own time schedule. If you
use your pedometer, on average, 2000 steps equals one
mile. Everyone’s mileage will be kept up individually and as a
group total to see how far we can walk; pointing out interesting
landmarks along the way. Last year as a group we walked all the
way from the Golden Gate Bridge to the front door of Kirby Pines for
a total of 2125 miles. This year we will start in Maine and travel the
old US Highway 1 which will take us to every major city on the East
Coast. If we have enough participants, we could make it all the way
to Key West. Make plans to join our Walk across America Program
in 2015. We’ll have helpful tips each week, awards and surprises for
everyone, as well as the reward of beginning and continuing a great
exercise habit of walking for strength and endurance.
We will have
weekly door prizes and a Grand Prize at the end for the most miles.
