Our SEALS (Seniors Engaging in Active Lifestyles) program is up and running!
Fitness sessions are held at Dewey Place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1:30 in the community room. All community members ages 60+ are welcome to attend. Exercises are performed in a chair and participants follow a certified senior fitness video. Our at-home program has started up thanks to a grant from East Central Energy. We purchased DVDs and DVD players, which allow clients to stay in their homes during the chilly winter months and still maintain physical activity. If you are interested in either program, contact the C.A.R.E. office. (320) 968-7848
