PRESS PLAY
Remember when we were young,
listening to music or watching a
movie and a person had something
very important to show us or tell
us? We usually hit the “pause”
button and paid attention to the
information. If there was a need,
we would respond. When time
permitted we would return and hit
play and continue with our
entertainment.
Press Play is a program that is
designed for adults in our
community that range in age from
their 40’s to late 50’s who pushed
“pause” on their recreational
activities or personal wellness.
Whatever the reasons, career,
family, children, education or just
keeping up with the “Jones’”, it is
now time to hit “play” again. This
program is designed to start you
off at a very basic level then bring
you back, slowly and safely. So you
regain your confidence and prevent
injury to make your “come-back,”
not another setback. Our coaches
will work with you as you begin to
train specifically for your task at
hand and get you in shape to reenter the activity you have chosen
and feel good about your
performance.
Press Play programs will be
scheduled as we all prepare for our
“upcoming recreation seasons”.
An example of when and what to
look for with our Press Play
activities is as follows:
