Goderich Y to offer special program for older adults Better late than ... ‘"Use it or lose it’ isn’t just a saying - it’s a sure thing. And it’s never too late unless you don’t start now.” says Carolyn Parks, local NCCP coach, author and athlete. ’ “The Goderich YMCA is launching an exercise program for adults over 55, especially targeting those who may not have done much in the way of workouts before. We’re encouraging people to get off the couch and get into fitness.” Starting Now - Just for the Health of It will run from June 6 to Aug. 12. “1 guess I always wanted to flame out, rather than rust out,” says Parks with a smile. “While a daily walk is a good thing,” Parks goes on, “it doesn’t address the loss of muscle mass and hence, strength as we age. Resistance and strength training does. Balance and mobility are improved with core exercises, and cardio work increases heart function and breathing. I think exercise is the closest thing we’ve got to a panacea for many human ailments. Besides helping the body, it lifts the spirits, improves outlook, and maintains mental acuity - while at the same time, exercise can reduce blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels.” “I was raised by my grandparents for half my childhood,” states Parks, Rough contest for U-ll squad It was a rough contest for the Brussels U-ll squad when they came up against Wingham in soccer action. May 17, at Wingham. The squad started slowly, allowing Wingham to score quickly and often. They tallied a total of nine goals throughout the game. Cam Stewart scored for Brussels with an incredible shot, making it way up the entire field on his own. Patti Blake and Adam Lindsay had solid games. Near the end of the game Jeremy Ross deked by the Wingham defender^ and put the ball in the bottom right comer of the net for Brussels’ second and final goal.

A special program in a private area will do much to encourage mature adults with experienced bodies to develop a routine of self-care through exercise. I’m not 30 anymore and I can relate to what happens as we age. Helping others be the best they can be, at whatever age, has always been important to me.” The Y’s wellness director, Mike Agnew, agrees. “Several of our members have been requesting a program designed for older adults," he says, “and we’re pleased to provide this. Carolyn will be an inspiration to participants. She’ someone who is in midlife but has remained fit. She’ll encourage others to improve their health and fitness levels - and have fun doing it.” LAWN QUESTIONS?
