SOFAE!
Senior
Olympic Fitness Awareness Events are
coming along beautifully.
So far
Farmington and Laguna
have successfully put on high quality events
that have been very educational. Evaluations
have been extremely positive. The mix
of Health Screening, Health Education, Sport
Instruction and a Fitness Activity appears to
be just the right recipe for a great time. Over
200 participants and volunteers so far have
enjoyed
refreshments, a free healthy lunch, hand
outs from exhibitors, door prizes and a free red,
white, and blue Health and Fitness T-shirt for
taking part in multiple activities. Among the the
activities seniors enjoyed were massage therapy,
chair exercise, water aerobics, and racewalk
instruction. Health care professionals provided
free screening for high blood pressure, diabetes,
hearing, and vision. The special highlight
in the health education portion was the cooking
class!
