Aging advantage

To the editor:

In a few weeks, the Personal Actions To Health (PATH) program will begin again. It is offered to individuals over the age of 55. The eight-week course is designed to help older adults develop a healthier lifestyle through nutrition and exercise. I took the course in the last session, and I have benefited in many ways. I have regained my flexibility, strength, endurance, agility/balance and coordination. We've learned to gently exercise our joints and muscles from our "eyes to our ankles."

I encourage others to contact the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, Senior Services or Parks and Recreation and be included in the next course.

Barbara Brizendine,
