DARKE COUNTY – “REFIT is exercise put to music, says fitness instructor Carolyn Kossler. “Dance is amazing for you in so many ways. It helps maintain and improve balance, it keeps your heart strong, and it keeps your brain healthy. Studies show that certain types of movements can help both sides of your brain work together, which can improve and maintain balance, cognitive function, and coordination. Dance is a fantastic way to incorporate these types of movements into your weekly routine. And of course, dance is also a great way to ensure cardiovascular health. It gets your heart pumping and your lungs working, all while you’re having fun!”
REFIT specifically emphasizes positive, energetic music designed to enhance participants’ mood. The DC Seniors organization values not only what you listen to, but also the social connections and interactions built in class, considering them as important as the physical benefits.
Due to the many benefits provided by the REFIT class, sessions will be conducted from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. every Monday and Friday throughout October. Participation is complimentary; voluntary donations are welcome and support the ongoing functions of the senior center. Adults aged 55 and above are invited to experience this fitness program at the Birchwood Senior Center, located at 5844 Jaysville-St. Johns Road, Greenville.
