THE ERICKSON TRIBUNE
Ten Erickson communities in Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Michigan, and Illinois held the fifth annual Exercise Across Erickson day recently. Over 1,200 residents biked, walked, jogged, swam, kicked, jumped, and moved to the groove for a grand total of 95,976 minutes.
Close to 250 residents from Charlestown and Oak Crest took part in this year’s event, logging an impressive 22,204 minutes of exercise while keeping fit for an average of 92.61 minutes per participant.
This is Jim and Joan Whitlock’s second year competing in the event at Oak Crest.
“I tried to double my regular fitness routine which includes the stationary bike, Nustep, treadmill, cardiovascular exercises,” says Jim.
“We did much better this year in the competition than we did last year. Living at Oak Crest keeps us active. Before moving here we would only exercise in spurts when we felt like we were gaining weight or getting out of shape. Now we walk together, garden together, and use the Fitness Center five days a week. Exercising regularly really makes us feel good,” he says.
“It is very important to keep people motivated by providing a variety of ways for them to exercise at any age,” says Jessica Horwath, wellness coordinator at Oak Crest’s Fitness Center. “Exercise Across Erickson Day is one of the many ways Charlestown and Oak Crest provide different options to involve exercise in our community members lives every day.” | |
