It is important that we constantly look for new ways to keep you as involved and active as you can be. Some of you are going to be more proficient that others but it is not about winning; it is about doing it together and being able to have fun and in doing all of that to keep a little movement going. As I encourage those of us of all ages it is important to keep our bodies going and our heart rate at a certain level.
