Ladies health and fitness day

 

             The Wellness Department is pleased to announce that we will be holding our annual Ladies Health and Fitness Day on Wednesday, May 5th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Allow Paradise Valley Estates professional staff to help you feel invigorated, relaxed and pampered at this all day event.  We will begin the day with our Orientation and Juice Bar from 9:00 to 9:15 a.m. in front of the recreation center.  Then our Stretch and Stride event will give you an aerobic workout, while enjoying the beauty of Paradise Valley.  Next we will offer Tai Chi and Yoga from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.  The guided meditation session will be held in the game room of the recreation center from 11:00 to 11:50 a.m.  You will enjoy a specially prepared luncheon of salads, breads, fruits and vegetables.  You may attend as many events as you wish.

 

             Our keynote speaker will again be Dr. Kathryn Amacher who will be speaking on Women’s Health issues.  Please sign up in the Green Book for the Ladies Luncheon as there is limited seating.  A meal credit will be used.  The luncheon and keynote speaker will begin at 12:00 p.m. and end at 1:30 p.m.  Then relax and end this special day of pampering with an arm and hand massage.  The massages will be held in the Small Multi-Purpose room of the Community Center.  For details pick up a brochure in the Recreation Center.

 

             We hope to see you there!

Congratulations to our

Line dancers

 

             Our Fitness in Paradise Line Dancing class , led by Marianne Walleen, recently celebrated their one year anniversary!

 

             Thanks to the efforts of Marianne and our residents this class is very well attended.  The class invited me to observe and participate in their one year anniversary class.  I was amazed how many dances they had learned and how terrific they all were. The Line Dancers will again be our kick-off event at this year’s Health Fair held in October.  Marianne and all the line dancers should take a bow.  Great Job!
