Mason County News
With so many free exercise programs in Mason, it’s not difficult to find something for everyone. For those of you who want to pursue a fitness program this summer, we have just the challenge for you. It’s the Summer Meltdown Challenge. There are at least 13, YES, 13 FREE exercise programs offered in Mason. There is literally something for everyone.
Classes are offered at convenient indoor locations that can fit almost any schedule and any level of ability. Bring a friend or come to make new friends. A few benefits of exercise include improved flexibility, balance, strength & endurance. Exercise not only tones up your body, but it tunes up you mind. Participants in this challenge can attend as many programs as they desire. Just remember, if you haven’t been physically active for a while, go slow. Don’t look for perfection-look for improvement.
Activity logs are available at each class for tracking time invested in physical activity & we will have a covered dish celebration event at the conclusion of the challenge with 3 prizes presented to the participants who have logged the most hours. For those who exercise, but do not want to participate in the challenge, be sure to enter your name for the monthly drawings.
