Concord —
“Last summer a friend talked me into trying out this class which I knew absolutely nothing about,” says Kathleen Chick, 70, of Concord. “Initially, I said I would give it a try just to make my friend happy. I am not one who enjoys aerobics or any physical exercise that resembles work! However, after my eight-week ‘try,’ I enrolled in the following session, and now one year later, I look forward to the twice-weekly classes. I am truly surprised by how much better I feel when I leave class.”
