AROUND
of the Month
The Italian language is bellissimo! Each week, the 15 to 30
Villagers who meet for Italian Study Basic are not only having fun,
they are learning something, too!
“I started the group because we were already taking
lessons and we needed additional work. Some of us
got together and practiced, and it grew from there,”
said Marty Duggan, a Village of Santiago resident
and the group leader. “Want to sit in? Be our guest!
There is no membership fee but you have to buy the
book that we use so
you can study from it.”
The group meets each
Thursday from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
at Chula Vista Recreation Center.
“It’s beautiful! People are learning
a beautiful language, its what The
Villages is all about, having fun,”
Duggan said. “If we learn something
on the side, that is just perfect!”
Bone Builders
Osteoporosis? No problem! Had a knee or hip replaced?
Bone building is good for you, too! On a weekly basis at five
locations across The Villages, residents are getting strong
using weighted aerobics.
One theory is that weighted aerobics makes bones stronger.
It is not a vigorous exercise; rather, they use slow counting and
focus on balance and breathing. Normally, two hand weights
and an ankle weight are used during the exercise; sometimes
members are sitting, but most of the time they stand. Fish
Hawk Recreation Center leader Bonnie Myers, of the Village
of Caroline, has been a member for the past four years.
“It is something you can do to improve your health,”
Myers said. “You feel better, period.”
Check the Recreation News in The Daily Sun for class
times. Members meet at Paradise, Pimlico, Coconut Cove,
Fish Hawk, Odell or Truman recreation centers depending
on the day.
