part in promoting health and
exercise in the community has
turned into reality with the
start of the exercise program

of 15 ladies was asked if they
would like to meet weekly and
exercise as a group and there

correct muscular imbalance and
reduce chronic back pain.

Every Thursday, Laurie Jewell
now leads the group of ladies in
exercises that Sara has mapped

find that it
is much

If you look
in at the
group, you’ll find some very
determined ladies working to
stay healthy! Those ladies from
the community who are participating ages range from 60

of information that we have
