The Silversneakers Classes, plus being able to come 5 days a week. Not having Kim's classes times we had before, I've had to take classes at the Healthy Living Center YMCA. I would do more classes but times are scheduled same time so not able to do that. But I feel working out kinks since COVID19. I did bring a guest this lady week and she's signing up this week......

They are more my speed. I have some health conditions so even though I look younger, I need a slower pace. I get that at the health center.

So far, everyone very friendly.
