Aloha!
Get ready to experience a positive transformation in your overall health! Welcome to EnhanceFitness®, a new program of St. Francis Healthcare System.
Creating Healthy Communities…Starting with You! St. Francis Healthcare System’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for everyone in the community — for those of all ages. It’s never too early or too late to start to experience results. That’s why we’re excited to introduce EnhanceFitness® for the residents of Franciscan Vistas Ewa. This physical activity program changes lives and is another great free benefit for Franciscan Vistas Ewa residents!
Improving Your Health Studies show regular physical activity improves overall health, memory, mood, balance, bone density, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. The sessions are designed to improve your physical conditioning and to decrease your risk of falling. We think you will be pleasantly surprised by how much better you will feel by participating in this program.
Personalized Coaching As your instructor, I will help you get the most out of this simple yet effective program. If you are currently inactive, you may experience a little muscle soreness at first. To counteract this common response when starting a new form of exercise, we encourage you to attend class on a regular basis, start gently, and increase your intensity gradually.
Recommended Attire Wear comfortable clothing and supportive, closed toe shoes to class. A couple of class guidelines are:
Go at your own pace
Never do anything that hurts
If your doctor says don’t do it, please don’t do it
Exercise Schedule This hour-long class is held three days a week. We’ll meet in Franciscan Vistas Ewa’s Community Center every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. I will be available a few minutes both before and after each class, so please do not hesitate to ask questions. I look forward to exercising with you and getting to know you.
Sincerely,
Patricia Baker
