December 2016
Don’t let the busyness 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 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, on
Monday, December 19. This “Walk with Ease” Class Reunion will meet in the PAC at
10:30 to do our warm-up and stretches, walk for about 30 minutes and then gather back in
the PAC for some Christmas treats. Invite your friends to join us for this fun event.

CHRISTMAS STROLL
Take a
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 2. The program will run from January 9
through March 6 for 8 weeks. Each week, we will track how many miles
each participant walks, or completes on the Nu-Step or treadmill on
their own time schedule. (Get credit for 1 mile for each exercise class you
participate in). 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 Appalachian Trail, 2185 miles
of trail from Georgia to Maine. We’ll have photos
along the hike and follow our progress on a map.
Helpful tips, awards and surprises for everyone will be
handed out along the “trail”. Another benefit will be the
reward of beginning and continuing a great exercise habit
of walking for strength and endurance. Weekly door
prizes and a Grand Prize at the end will be awarded for
the most miles.
