Senior fair to spotlight 'Zumba' fitness


Advertiser Staff

A "Senior Health Day Fair," slated for tomorrow at Windward Mall’s Center Court, will feature a demonstration to introduce “Zumba,” a new fitness program tailored for seniors, with easy-to-learn dance steps to the beat of Latin music.
The fair, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the mall’s Center Court, will focus on issues tied to healthful aging and preventative care.
Guest speakers will include Lieutenant Gov. James R. “Duke” Aiona, Jr. and Honolulu’s Managing Director Kirk Caldwell, who will deliver a message from Mayor Mufi Hannemann. Also, various experts will speak about eye diseases, and offer treatment recommendations; safety precautions to reduce the risk of falls and injuries among seniors; and management and treatment of osteoporosis.
Entertainment will be provided by Na Kupuna O Koçolau, a seniors group of musicians and dancers.
The fair is sponsored by Attention Plus Care, as a home care agency. Admission is free.
