Coordinator Tami O'Neil of Family Service
Association obtained a United Way
Community Impact Grant which is providing four weeks of health
presentations at the Niagara/Maplewood
Senior Center and the South Main Senior Center over the months of
March and April 2016. The first session covered strength building, the
second chair yoga and the third ways of reducing dietary
sodium. For the final session, Family Service
Association staff member Nan Beaulieu led a group of seniors in a dance
for fitness session that emphasized having fun while increasing activity
levels. "Dance is a type of cardio exercise, like walking or
swimming, that increases your heart rate," stated Beaulieu. "You
want to find something that's fun because if you enjoy your physical
activity, you're going to keep up with it," she added. She taught the
group several simple line dances that they were able to do to familiar
tunes, such as "My Guy." Click
