50 Hours Challenge UPDATE!
Did you know that 50 hours of standing exercise can prevent one fall?
As some of you may remember we started off our 50 Class Challenge on November 1st 2018 and despite all the cancelled classes in January and February due to weather and illness (outbreaks in Retirement Homes) we have already had two people complete the challenge.
Both Molly VanRoon and Doris Ouellel have participated in over 50 SMART classes since November 1st. These two ladies participate in 5-7 SMART exercises weekly and although they were both very happy to receive their 50 SMART Class Certificate and their prize they have stated that the competition was fun but not the reason they participate in so many classes. Molly and Doris both stated that the exercise classes are a great social outing where they get to reap the physical benefits. Both of these ladies want to age well and know the best way to do that is to exercise. Hence they will continue with their regular exercise regime with their prize being feeling great at the end of classes. Congratulation ladies!
Is anyone else close to completing their first 50 SMART exercise classes?
