Seniors over the age of 50 are invited to take a free health assessment with the Okanagan YMCA. The assessments take place at the Kelowna Family Y on Friday, October 27 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and at H2O Adventure and Fitness Centre on Friday, November 3 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Elaine Gillmore, is an H2O member, and has participated in four health assessments and actively recruits members for YMCA senior and health programs. After her first assessment, she realized she had good upper body strength but needed to improve on her balance.
“These assessments provide the chance to recognize and correct minor problems before they have the chance to escalate,” said Gillmore.
“We are constantly impressed by the vitality and energy of our senior population and encourage everyone to aspire towards the healthiest version of themselves.”
Assessments are typically 45-60 minutes long, evaluating a variety of health measures that contribute to one’s overall health.
Some of the tests include agility, blood pressure, cardiovascular health, muscular strength, balance and more.
Registration is required and space is limited. To reserve your spot call 250-491-9622 ext. 211.
