'going for gold' challenge week comes to a close

after a busy week, karen presented certificates and medals to all the residents who took part in the various challenges, and gave medals to individual winners, at a lunch time ceremony today. Pictured is joyce who took part in many of the activities this week but excelled in croquet and also won a prize in our mini Olympic games!!

The NAPA 'going for gold' challenge was designed to encourage residents from homes all around the country to get fit by trying out different activites - this week we tried Zumba Gold - a very exciting (seated) dance routine to latin american music, guaranteed to bring a smile.  we have now booked Antonia the instructor to come to MEH on a a regular basis!  sue our keep fit instructor is now going to design a keep fit routine incorporating 'fall prevention' exercises that everyone can get involved in and do every day...
