Venturing Far while Staying in Town


Don’t Sit, Get Fit! Juniper Village at Mount Joys’ Route 66 program was kicked off the beginning of May. This is a program in which residents and associates alike are encouraged to become more spirited and engaged in physical activity. Each associate along with their resident best friend is placed on a team, a team that is attempting to cover all 2,451 miles of Route 66. Heart rates increased and the competition got heated as individuals calculated every single mile they stepped out with hopes of surpassing their rivals on the journey across the country. Residents participated in Silverfit, the walking program, and numerous other activities in hopes of contributing many miles for their team. At the end of May two teams were neck and neck, almost traveling together. However, one team was able to pull ahead and complete the entirety of the trip (figuratively speaking) all within a little over a months’ time! Congratulations to Team Wellness and all other participants for joining us in the journey! There is no rest for the weary though, all are encouraged to make healthy living and an active lifestyle part of everyday life. Now get up and get moving!
