Physicians say that walking is the best exercise. Where else can you “walk a mile in 18 minutes” while doing upper body exercises with our without weights? At Faithfully Fit Forever! The Arborlawn FFF group meets every Monday and Thursday; one group at 8:45 a.m. and the other at 7:00 p.m. in the SAM Building. Sessions last for about one hour with 30-40 minutes of exercise and 20 minutes of devotion and health information.
