“Golden Drummers,” our cardio drumming class, livens up our building twice a week. In a class that averages 22 seniors, at least five of them have the name Susan or Sue!
“I have so much fun during Golden Drummers that it doesn’t feel like exercise. I also participate in Line Dancing on Monday afternoons. Zumba Gold is my favorite, even if it feels like I have two left feet. Everyone is so nice and inviting. I feel like the women who participate have been my friends forever.” – Sue Bruner
“Karen is fabulous! She makes the hour zoom by. We laugh as hard as we drum. I sit and drum, and I still see cardio benefits from the seated workout. I would love to see a third class added during the week. The Senior Center is awesome and has wonderful programs!” – Sue Wilson
“I enjoy the two days the Senior Center has cardio drumming. Karen makes each session so much fun with a great workout and a lot of laughing. I also have noticed my endurance and stamina have improved. I would encourage any senior who would like to improve their fitness to come to the cardio drumming classes and have a lot of fun and a great workout.” – Sue Gillen
“We all need to exercise, and we might as well have fun while we are doing it. Cardio drumming totally does all of that. Karen is a great leader/entertainer, and she plays great tunes. The other drummers are welcoming and friendly. I love all those peeps. I also am a member of the Senior Center Choir. On Wednesdays, I do Zumba Gold and Chair Yoga. Toni, the Zumba instructor, and Rhonda, the Yoga instructor are the best.” – Susan Clark
“In Golden Drummers, we sing, we laugh, and we get crazy, all while getting our heart rate up. What a fun class, and it wouldn’t be half the fun without our crazy and fun instructor, Karen!” Slawinski also participates in Silver Sneakers Classic exercise and Line Dancing. – Sue Slawinsk
