Alice's SilverSneakers Story

I want to share this great story with you.  It's from Alice J. Howard who attends the Chickahominy Family Y in VA.
How SilverSneakers has Affected my Lifestyle

I returned to my SilverSneakers class after being away for more than a year.  I celebrated my 67th birthday and decided to give myself a present of a more healthy and active year.  I was so happy to meet all the wonderful seniors who participate in the SilverSneakers programs.  Our instructors are an exceptional and dedicated group of professionals who make exercising fun and rewarding!

Recently, I was talking to my son, Reginald, on the telephone and noticed a knot in my right upper arm.  I mentioned it to my son with great concern.  He told me to look at my left arm and lo and behold there was a knot there, too!  Reginald said, "Those are your muscles, Mom!  SilverSneakers is working for you and you need to stick with it."  I hadn't seen muscles in so long, I thought they were gone forever!  We both laughed at my new found discovery and talk about all the  benefits of exercise for seniors!

Thank you SilverSneakers!  I am even more motivated to continue my quest for good health and well being through exercise and eating healthy!
