Tell us what you did during Active Aging Week to redefine the term "Active."
We held a "fitness fair", similar to a health fair set up. Here, we highlighted the various fitness/sports programs that we offer in our community. It was a good way to create awareness of all we offer, get an opportunity to speak to a leader of that program, and motivate someone to try something new. The fair had about 20 tables representing the various fitness programs, a fitness picture slide show, healthy snacks and door give-aways (Acts' lunch bag/water bottle). During Active Aging Week, if a resident tried a new fitness/sport program after attending the "fitness fair", they received a raffle ticket to win a prize. It was incentive to try something new and do something good for their wellness.
