Fit and Fall Proof(tm) a community program to help seniors prevent falls, is seeking volunteers to help other volunteers. Fit and Fall Proof(tm) is low impact, yet effective balance and mobility exercise class that improves the quality of life for everyone involved. Led by trained volunteer leaders, Fit and Fall Proof(tm) has been helping seniors since 2004. Our program is seeking people who know the importance of exercise and having groups of friends, but not wanting to stand in front of a class to teach exercise. Hostess/hosts or "helpers" are an invaluable part of Fit and Fall Proof(tm) success. They take a lot of the pressure off of the class leader by doing the logistical and clerical tasks. Such as: Greeting arrivals Class set up/ tear down Taking attendance Orienting new participants Helping participants with equipment Helping with quarterly progress measurements (very easy to do) Giving fun and welcoming energy to class Being appreciated beyond measure Of course you get to exercise and improve your own balance and mobility while making new friends, and having a ton of fun. An hour a week can make a huge difference to other volunteers, and the community in general. You will be a part of something spectacular, yet remain in your comfort zone. Should you eventually wish to teach, we will be glad to have you do so. Classes are weekday mornings at a variety of locations. The schedule is very flexible and accommodating. We would love to have you join the team, and want you to enjoy our time with us.
