Chandler Senior Center proves that you’re never too old to discover the world and find new friends Being retired from the work world means you gain the freedom to choose when you want to embark on a new adventure. Whether it’s a Wednesday or Saturday, it’s always the perfect time for a one-day, day trip.

For avid day-tripper Sue Paul, trekking through rolling hills in full bloom and unwine-ding in scenic Verde Valley is a regular occurrence.

A retiree who used to be an accountant, Paul shares that she gave the relaxed retired life a try, but soon found herself fidgeting with restlessness. She recalls, “When I retired, I didn’t do anything for about three years. One day, I realized that I wanted to experience new

things and that if I didn’t do it now, I’d never get to do it in the future.”

It’s not every day you hear about a 67-year old who frequently travels, especially to engage in excursions like hiking and wine tasting. But for Diane Gilligan, such adventures are made stress-free with the help of Chandler Senior Center’s ageless adventures which organizes age-friendly tours for fellow active adults.  McDowell Reginal Park Hike

Travel Well, Live Longer, Learn “We do all of the planning; nothing is required of them,” explains Matt Davis, Recreation Coordinator and Trip Organizer for the Senior Center. “Roundtrip transportation is always included, and most trips include an opportunity to lunch. Our trips are a great way to travel stress-free and explore new places.”

Davis generates ideas for trips about six months in advance. He’s always looking to see what’s coming to Arizona, the next big thing may not be something everyone has heard about. He also looks for word-of-mouth recommendations and always takes past participant requests' into consideration.

Fall and spring are the biggest seasons for day trips because the weather is favorable for getting out and about. These months boast a multitude of festivals and opportunities for active adults to do outdoor sightseeing, especially around the East Valley, Phoenix-Metropolitan and southern Arizona areas.

Past trips have ranged from setting sail for Canyon Lake and enjoying lunch on the Dolly Steamboat, savoring the smell of fresh peaches at Schnepf Farms Peach Festival, setting sights on clear skies with a Kitt Peak Observatory tour and attending theatrical productions in Chandler, Gilbert and Phoenix.

Although seniors are the majority of the day trip rosters, the trips are not necessarily devoid of physical activity. Within the last year, the Senior Center has added hiking trips and scenic walking tours with light exercise.

Davis believes more and more 50-plus are finding their stride, at their own pace, to hike for their health.

“Hiking is walking and many consider walking the best exercise; almost anyone can hike at some level,” he says. “Hiking is a wonderful way not only to participate in aerobic exercise, but to clear your head.”

Research has shown outdoor enthusiasts who are walking and hiking as seniors tend to be higher functioning adults from both a physical and mental capacity. More than a fun attraction on an ageless adventure, senior hiking is a way to live stronger and healthier for years to come; providing many physical, mental and social benefits.

Recent hiking trips have included blazing trails along Hayden Butte Preserve and Tempe Town Lake.

Ageless adventures is an exciting type of travel, growing quickly in popularity.

“These trips are attended by a variety of art, theatre, history, shopping and outdoor enthusiasts,” says Nancy Jackson, Senior Center Coordinator. “With a vast following many of them sell out long before the registration deadline. In fact, we have a group of women who gather around with the newsletter to scope out where they’re going next.”

For retirees and active adults unfamiliar with the concept, these educational trips for adults and 50-plus seniors are a fun alternative to the typical extended vacation, as they offer participants a chance to explore an intriguing destination and simultaneously learn something new, master a new skill or develop a favorite hobby.

Travel is often an educational experience and “seniors want to continue to learn,” explains Davis. “For lifelong learners, this is an opportunity to engage their bodies and minds through educational travel alongside other active seniors and make new friends.”

Make New Friends Making friends later in life is a challenge. Not only are there fewer opportunities to meet new people, but also a little more resistance. Ageless adventures enables seniors to connect with others and form fulfilling relationships as they share experiences with peers.

Each quarter the Senior Center receives a number of registrations from adults that may be recently retired or relocated and looking to meet new people. Inevitably, after a few trips with the Center, new and continuing friendships are formed.

Travel improves how we connect with people, “forcing us to step outside our comfort zone, usually leading to adrenaline rushes, intellectual highs and hilarious stories,” explains Jackson.

“When you take a trip you create deeper, more profound connections with the people around you by simply opening yourself up to fresh, unexpected possibilities.”

Friendships go hand-in-hand with traveling and special interests. On advice to fellow active adults, Erlinda Schweller says, “It’s important to not only keep physically active, but also embrace smart aging through conversations with new found friends on trips. Take the time to get to know the person you sit down next to on the bus and help minimize the social isolation amongst our aging community.”  For more information or to plan an active lifestyle, call the Chandler Senior Center at 480-782-2720 or visit chandleraz.gov/breaktime.

Personal Training Kristi Strong Taylor loves that Chandler Parks & Recreation offers extensive wellness programming – especially personal training – to help keep her on the path of a healthy lifestyle. When she was 39 years old, Kristi set a goal: to be her absolute fittest by her 40th birthday.

Step one? Kristi literally took a step on Tumbleweed Recreation Center’s InBody Scale to get to the weight of the matter. “A few weeks before I started personal training I took a scan,” to get a baseline of body composition, metabolic rate and more to help track her progress in achieving fitness goals, explained Kristi.

Step two? Find my fit. The stay-at-home mother of four purchased a 10-week session with longtime certified personal trainer, Roberta Kagno to jumpstart her fitness journey. “It was a 40th birthday present to myself,” says Kristi. “I thought it would give me the edge and motivation I need to meet my birthday goal. I had no idea I’d find a career I love too.”

Roberta helped Kristi discover a calorie-burner she truly loved: TRX – in addition to gaining a better understanding of exercise science and strength training. “Roberta always came prepared with a diverse array of exercises that were both challenging and motivating,” said Kristi. “She ensured that I performed each exercise correctly and accurately gauged when it was necessary to increase resistance. Once you find an exercise you love to do, it doesn’t seem like exercising at all.”

The now fitness instructor, Kristi, credits fulfilling her lifelong dream to Tumbleweed Recreation Center’s Personal Training Program. “With Roberta’s help I saw a positive trend in all of my metric goals and beyond the numbers I feel stronger and more confident,” says Kristi. “I wasn’t as bad at fitness as I thought. She gave me the poise to pursue becoming a fitness instructor which is something that I have never considered for myself before, but I’m loving it now.”

#TrainerTips: Get the most out of your personal trainer Finding the right personal trainer can transform your fitness efforts. These four tips will help ensure you’re making the most of your sessions.

1. Set your goals.

Meet the Personal Trainer

ROBERTA KAGNO EDUCATION / CERTIFICATION: • American Council on Exercise Certified • Group Fitness Instructor Certified SPECIALIZATIONS: • Nutrition Counseling • Functional Movement • Lifestyle Change • Weight Loss • Strength Training

4 | chandleraz.gov/registration

From the moment you sit down with your trainer, be honest about your goals. Your trainer will hold you accountable and know the exact measures you need to take to reach each goal.

2. Set a schedule and stick to it.

At the completion of each session with your trainer, don’t leave the session without confirming a date and time for your next session. Confirming a date leaves less room for cancellation.

3. Ask for help.

Ask your trainer for friendly reminders to help you stay motivated to work out on your own or to choose healthier foods. In addition, to reminders ask for a few “extracurricular” workouts to complete on your own time. It never hurts to ask.

4. Buddy-up.

Pairing up someone who has the same goal in mind as you makes the journey easier and more exciting. Try participating in one of TRC’s fitness or nutritional challenges. It’s a great way to connect with like-minded people.

Fall 2018

Dear Chandler Patrons, Welcome to the newly designed issue of Break Time! What do you think Chandler? I like the new, sleek look and can’t wait to see what’s in store for us with all of the fall classes, activities and more.

Jay Tibshraeny | Mayor

So, fall is finally here and that means cooler temperatures and a great time to get back outside and play. And we have just the event to put you and your family on a path to better health. It’s the annual Mayor’s Day of Play scheduled for Saturday, October 20, at Tumbleweed Park, from 8 a.m. to noon. This annual event is filled with free activities and vendors that will help you recognize the importance of fitness, health and wellness. It fits perfectly with my Health Connect initiative and it is an ideal morning that will have something of interest for the entire family. I hope to see you there.

Our special event calendar ramps up as well this time of year with many assorted events planned for the whole community. They include the annual Halloween Spooktacular, Chuck Wagon Cook-Off and the dog friendly Woofstock. We also honor the diversity in our community with Hispanic Heritage Month activities.

Your new Break Time is also full of great ideas for hobby interests, sports and fitness programs with the hundreds of classes, leagues and activities that we offer. There are also a great number of learning opportunities available at our Museum, Environmental Education Center, Senior Center and four public libraries.
