The residents of the Foothill Village senior living community in Angels Camp have a variety of physical fitness activities they can participate in, all under the humorous and watchful eye of longtime fitness instructor JoAnne Jo Ingram.

Throughout the week, residents can choose cross-training with seven exercise stations, yoga or the Sit and Fit exercise class.

I enjoy it very much, said Betty Kane, 86, of her participation in the Sit and Fit program.

During the winter months, the classes are held inside. As the weather warms, residents exercise outdoors under the facilitys grand portico.

Ingram has been with Foothill Village for 16 years. She carefully incorporates stretching, breathing, light weights and cardiovascular exercises into her Sit and Fit program, all combined with music that brings back fun memories for the residents.

I remember this song from high school, said Mary Buchanan, 93, of the Glenn Miller song String of Pearls.

The residents, not shy, broke into song when Daisy and Wild About Mary were played.

Throughout the program, Ingram tells fun stories and has the residents sing and count.

If you arent panting after this exercise, then you didnt do it right, she says, explaining how incorporating the use of the lungs and deep breathing is advantageous to good health.

Carol Klemstein, 68, a temporary resident recovering from hip replacement surgery, enjoys taking part in the various programs.

I enjoy everything here; everyone is so cheerful, she said as she carefully followed Ingrams exercise instructions.

Though the exercise programs are focused on more ambulatory residents, there are also fitness programs available for those who cannot move as well, and for those suffering from memory loss.
