This event gave participants the opportunity to Hillman and Barbara Moon have a go at various activities and source infor- mation from the many static displays on a variety HAGN#328-052346 of topics. The people who attended were very active and engaging and all of them wanted to take part in the activities from the moment they commenced. Pole walking, carpet bowls, seated hockey and the air soccer were particularly pop- ular. Other activities included, giant darts, Bob (ta- ble billiards), skittles, Heart Sport activities, carpet golf and more. After a morning of activities par- ticipants were treated to a healthy lunch. Thanks to the City of Vincent’s Kendra who assisted in or- ganising the activity day, and a big thank you to SRCWA’s hard working volunteers. This event was sponsored by LiveLighter Healthway and support- ed by City of Vincent, Department of Local Gov- ernment, Sport and Cultural Industries and Dept of Communities. Remember to eat healthy meals and exercise daily to LiveLighter. Pole walking Pole walking uses two poles, often called hik- ing or trekking poles to add a new dimension to walking. It is an easy, efÀ cient and low stress ac- tivity which engages the whole body in a total workout. Users À nd they have greater increase in muscle endurance and toning in their , back, chest, upper arms and abdominals when they pole walk. The poles also provide stability and add a spring to people’s steps as they push the user along. They can help reduce stress in the knees and other joints and loosen up muscle ten- sion in the neck and shoulders. This is beneÀ cial for anyone who has a job where they sit in one position most of the day. Posture improves with correct technique and users À nd it is up to 40 per cent more effective as an exercise than regular walking. Oxygen intake increases signiÀ cantly, and heart rate is À ve to 17 beats more per minute, compared to regular walking.

THE BRAINCHILD OF AWARD-WINNING CARE PROVIDERS HALL & PRIOR, KARINGAL GREEN IS SET IN THE LEAFY PERTH FOOTHILLS AND IS A PLACE OF HEALING, PURPOSE DESIGNED TO LIGHT THE LIFE WITHIN.

BELIEVE IN BETTER

Aged care is evolving – and Hall & Prior is leading the way. We are more than a provider… people are our passion, our purpose. Our team has spent the last 25+ years working diligently in the background having illuminating conversations with Australia’s senior community. These are lives to celebrate, a generation of doers. How they experience their twilight years matters to all of us. What we’ve learned has inspired us to invest our heart and soul into designing and operating world-class centres for healing and wellbeing across the country.

We are in it for the long haul, owning and operating everything we create including Karingal Green - a world-class multi-level care campus bringing together 160 beds with state-of-the-art facilities including a wellness centre, heated swimming pool, gymnasium, café and cinema, in the City of Kalamunda. And most importantly, where care is everything. This is the future of care – together let’s believe in better.
