EngAGE is celebrating Thanksgiving all month!
EngAGE is thankful to be able to provide Fitness and Wellness programs that help older adults create and reinforce healthy behaviors to strengthen and retain their independent lifestyles.
We are thankful for Rose Cooke who has taught Fitness and Wellness classes (including water aerobics) at Magnolia at Highland Senior Apartments in San Bernardino, CA, for almost ten years. She motivates and inspires the residents to establish a fitness routine, and encourages them to achieve an increased sense of good health and community.
When the in-person classes changed to a virtual forum due to COVID-19, the residents stepped up to the challenge.
Pre-COVID-19, Rose’s fitness class participated in “The Biggest Loser” fitness challenge. Residents monitored their weight loss, with the help of Rose’s fitness classes, which meet twice a week.
They weighed in once a week for the twelve weeks of the game, and the top two biggest losers were awarded Wal-Mart gift cards. Curtis Railey won first place, and Dee Hayes won second place. Residents were very motivated, and most definitely want to play again!
Thank you, Rose Cooke!
