PATH
Nearly twenty years ago, Federated Church began offering exercise classes in Price Hall every Tuesday and Friday morning.  PATH, which stands for Physical Activity for Total Health, is taught by a professional fitness instructor and includes strength training, aerobics (walking), flexibility and balance training - in other words, a little bit of everything.  Although the class is geared towards those over the age of 50, everyone of all ages is welcome, including church members and the wider community.  The church provided the equipment for us to use: weights, stretch bands, tubes, chairs and floor mats.  One could choose to attend at either 8:30 AM or 9:45 AM.  The classes typically lasted approximately one hour.
      In-person classes were discontinued in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 shutdown. However, everyone still has the opportunity to continue classes by participating in online PATH classes.  These "meet" on Tuesday and Friday mornings starting at 9 AM.  Participants are expected to walk or otherwise warm up ahead of Google Meet class time and to provide their own equipment, which need not be fancy. 
     Even if you have not exercised regularly before, now you can do so in the privacy of your own home -- as long as you have an internet connection.  See you in class!
     Andrea Melton is our instructor.  She will send invitations before each session  to each person who indicates an interest in participating.  The format she uses is Google Meet, which is very similar to Zoom.
     The cost is $5 per session or $35 per month.  Checks should be mailed to the church.  Anyone interested should email leave a message at office@eldoradofederatedchurch.org and Andea will make sure you are placed on the invite list.
