What ’ s New I n The
New Year!
Happy New Year! The Oasis is a great place
to begin you New Year’s
resolution to feel better. Diet, rest, and exercise are keys to better health. Kirby Pines
offers many opportunities to improve strength, endurance, balance and cardio-vascular
health. Our four exercise classes supported by the Arthritis Foundation include Tai
Chi, Arthritis Exercise (Stand and Sit). Water Aerobics, and Walking with Ease (a six
week class that will be offered in the spring). These classes are tailored to your needs
and having arthritis is not a requirement to take a class. A resident led class that has
been together for years meets three times a week (Monday-Wednesday-Friday) in the
Performing Arts Center.

The Pinecone
|
January 2016
We are always looking for
new ways to encourage exercise
at Kirby Pines Estates.
Beginning January 1st,
we’ll have a chart in the Oasis
for your name and a graph
to chart how often participants
exercise for the 60 days
in January and February.
Walking, Nu-step, exercise classes
and other exercise routines
can be credited on your graph,
tracking how often you exercise.
Every day you exercise
will be charted and added up.
The person with the most days of
exercise will win two tickets for
an Exquisite Cuisine dinner.
If we have a tie we will have a
drawing. Register in the Oasis
to get your name on the chart.
Take the 60 Day Challenge and get
your New Year off to a great start.
