24 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | MARCH 2022 | "Walk-Fit" Exercise Club March brings with it hope for warmer days and the beginning of spring. Time to leave our winter hibernation and start moving. Try our "Walk Fit" class for added activity. A full hour of aerobic walking burns about 350 calories, is heart healthy and builds strength and stability. (Three times a week is 1,050 calories.) The class consists of eight different Leslie Sansone "Walk Fit" dvds. The easy-to-follow routines are set to music with varying tempos. The complete class is four miles, but you can come late or leave early to shorten your routine and work at your own level. A few of the dvds incorporate resistance bands (always optional). Some class members add light hand weights for added strength training. Stop by and give us a try. New members are always welcome, both men and women! A special THANK YOU to Louisa Martinez and Mary Reyna for keeping the class running during my absence. At this writing, masks are required during class. Hopefully that restriction will be lifted soon. We meet Mon., Wed., and Fri. from 7:45 to 8:45 am in the Lodge Ballroom. CLASS IS FREE ! For more information, contact Karen Tuvim (316) 260-0847. Cardio & Strength Join us for the Cardio & Strength Class taught by Certified Instructor Shannon Ramsey. This class is the perfect way to work on strength, balance and endurance! We use exercise bands and one, two, or three-pound weights to increase our strength and balance, while simple step routines to perfectly choreographed music help build our cardio endurance. Best part… it's completely modifiable to a chair routine so you can work at your own ability level. Zumba Gold Come join us for Zumba, Zumba! If you like to dance come have fun with us!

Healthy Living Fred and Cherrie Rau are great supporters of the Healthy Living program. They have been members for a number of years and always encourage others to join the program. The Healthy Living program format has changed a bit. At the present time, our meetings are being help in the Bistro. This location lends itself to the casual, and informal atmosphere where team members can share their wellness walk with others. Dave Tuvim, Healthy Living Host, provides articles on health-related subjects. We meet every Wednesday at 9 am. Our location, for now, is in the Bistro.
