“Fit has a Feeling!”—Propel FitnessWater, that slogan has really stuck withme because I believe it’s true. There is afeeling that comes with consistent exer-cise. While you may not be able to putyour finger on it, it’s there.

The theme of this year’s catalog is“Fitness for Life.” The 50+ Sports &Fitness Program invites you to getinvolved in one or more of the manyactivities they offer. Get fit for yourhealth. Get fit for life!

Research has proven that regular exer-cise and staying physically active canhelp prevent and/or delay many diseasesand disabilities. Exercise also helps

older adults improve the four areas thatare important for staying healthy andindependent: strength, balance, flexibil-ity, and endurance. The good newsis….whatever your age, it’s never toolate to improve your health.

So look through this catalog, find anactivity that interests you, and “Get Fitfor Life.”

Mayor Richard J. BerryCity of Albuquerque
