Newest Members, Clinton View Lodge      

Special welcome to Sadie, Margaret, Audrey, Peach, Jimmy, Joe, Stanley, Miriam, Clayton, Charlie, Clifford, and Doris.  We are very pleased to have you as part of the "East Prince Walking/Moving for Wellness Club". 

For all the readers, this is a description of the real workout that is done 3 times weekly for between 45-60 minutes each time.  It is interesting to know how much work is involved.

• Starting with weights for both arms and reaching up, to the side, above the head.
• Feet exercises with two feet on ground, lifting up toes for each foot and together.
• Exercises for legs, lifting legs one at a time, together... followed by marching on the spot.
• Now the games begin with bean bag toss, ring toss, basketball, and a cool down by tossing and catching ball before you.

Participants report higher levels of happiness and self esteem after doing exercises.  Women in particular like the exercises for "toning" purposes. Overall, male and female participants are very glad to be involved.

Thanks for Being a Part of East Prince "Walking/Moving for Wellness"

Great day at our South Shore Villa Launch re "East Prince Walking/Moving for Wellness Program".  Wonderful exercises, ballgames and step movements and everyone gave 200%.  Thanks to each of you for kind welcome and energy.  It was our Pleasure truly!  Here are some pictures to capture the great day!

 

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to our "East PrinceWalking forWellness Blog".  Here we will share stories with one another, i.e. stories to inspire, to give tips, and just say how we are all getting along.  By the way, our launch at Credit Union Place, yesterday on May 25th,  was a great success because of the volunteers and all of you, i.e. 250 people in attendance.  Thank-You!

Let's now introduce you to the first members of our Blogging Community, the seniors living at the South Shore Villa. Take a look at what they are involved in, compliments of Julia Purcell.  Oh yes, their Launch for the Walking/Exercise for Wellness Program is tomorrow, May 27th at 10am.  More groups to follow!

Spring in the hills of Crapaud PEI

 The hills are a smoky cerulean blue and the trees are a warm raw umber brown. It's April and the spring bulbs are coming up and the snow is  only in patches on the red clay fields. Yes the birch tree woodland surrounding the South Shore  Villa is sheltering snow drifts but that is typical for our Maritime spring.We kept well at the Villa with very little sickness this long winter. Winter passed quickly with plenty of entertainment and activities. We continue to play ball everyday and are making progress with our rythmn band.

 We got a little silly around St. Patricks Day. We are lucky enough to have several large hand puppets. The residents get a big kick out of these muppet style puppets. Several are child- like and are the favourites and then there is an older man in a cap and an old lady with a bun. We used them at the St Patty's Day party as  pretend  visitors from Ireland who told jokes and stories for us. And then on March 18 we set them up on display as if they were suffering the after effects of too much Irish beer.We thought we were very amusing.

Coming up is the royal wedding at the end of the month. We don't have royal wedding  fever yet but we are working on  building up some excitement on  the big day. Since we aren't on the official invitation list we will have to make our own event. We will have a nice English tea party on April 29th with scones and cream and a fancy cake and hot tea served in a tea cup. We will need to decorate some hats too. A tea hat is an important fashion statement. Then of course, we will bring in a wedding dress to help set the scene with bouquets of flowers. And then we will watch the wedding on our big screen TV. So it should be a nice afternoon. We wish the young couple well. If you are reading this consider it an invitation to join us on April 29,2011 at 2pm at the South Shore Villa in Crapaud, PEI. and what better time to celebrate the long marriages of our three resident married couples Garth and Alma Birt, Ralph and Phyllis Josey and Eddie and Linda Robbins.
