The instructor is Jeri Vines. Additional fitness classes, including water aerobics, are scheduled throughout the week. All classes are free to members. For information, call 374-4651. Junior Garcia, YMCA aquatics director, and Cindy Gibson, fitness director, both completed a diabetic education course at Northwest Texas Healthcare System last month and instruct the classes, a press release said.
Exercise is one of the ways people can have some control over their diabetes.
Class participants must wear water shoes for the protection of their feet. The YMCA expects to have some shoes available. Participants also must have completed a diabetic education class at the hospital of their choice. The class will progress at each student's pace, and modifications will be shown. It is free for members.
