First, the walking challenge will start on the 24th, with monthly walking challenges held and various incentives provided to successful participants. The aquatic exercise class helps seniors aged 60 and over with underlying conditions such as obesity and arthritis to recover their health.

The fall prevention exercise class targets seniors aged 65 and over, focusing on exercises that enhance flexibility and muscle strength, while the early morning exercise class is held for residents who find it difficult to participate in daytime programs.

Yeongdeok-gun Public Health Center will officially start these exercise classes from March, and those who wish to participate can apply by phone to the health center’s fitness room.

Kang Jong-ho, Director of Health Promotion, said, “We hope this program, tailored to individual characteristics such as obesity, arthritis, and chronic diseases, will serve as an opportunity for residents to develop healthy lifestyle habits,” adding, “Following last year, we expect many residents to respond positively again this year, and we will continue to expand and operate a wider variety of exercise classes.”
