Stepping up and Stepping On
By ALLAN TINKER
Under the instructions for group exercises for seniors, the McClusky Senior Citizen’s center has been enjoying light exercises at 5 p.m. most days of the week for a few months. President Linda Bowers leads the group and provides information for the program. Kristi Jensen, Sheridan County Nurse, has been the source of much of the info and will also add a “Stepping On” program in May. The group at the center also enjoys light activities and snacks, as well as a regular monthly meal at their corner location at 202 Avenue C. West. There is some serious competition in the games of pinochle and other card games as well as mental exercises in puzzles of all kinds. A pool table is handy, just in case. With the flexibility maintenance along with balance coordination, the group enjoys the exercises as they maintain their vigor with a variety of choices from Tai Chi to stretching seldom used muscle groups.
