Arborlawn's Faith Community Nurse ministry sponsored a seminar on May 12 called "Exercising Your Demons: Core Strengthening at Home." Guest presenters for the evening were Dr. Debbie Rhea and Sara Schaffer. The seminar included 29 participants. Rhea and Schaffer were pleased with this turnout and also complimentary of Arborlawn's Faithfully Fit Forever program. (The exercise class Faithfully Fit Forever meets Mondays and Thursdays, with 9 a.m. morning sessions and 7 p.m. evening sessions. Contact Rev. Pam Perrine for more details.)
Dr. Rhea started by sharing the five exercise "demons": 1) "I don't have time," 2) "I have weak bones," 3) "I am too old," 4) "I am stressed," and 5) "My body can't tolerate exercise." She expounded on each of these during her presentation. Sara talked about "Doing the Right Things at the Right Time." She gave a handout about home exercises, and the seminar participants did the exercises during the session. They were even given homework: "Do these every night!"
