Inspiring Exercise

I am writing to highlight a senior wellness group led by an 85 years young resident, Jim Dreeben. It is a positive story of people walking together to improve body, mind and soul.

We walk over the Ponquogue Bridge five days a week and engage in squats, push-ups and planks to strengthen our bodies and encourage good mental health. Just breathing the air and seeing nature in full bloom every season is inspiring. The benefits are positive.

Perhaps you will feature a story about this group in hopes of motivating others to engage in this wonderful activity.
