Exercising, Joking, Having a Good Time at East Windsor Senior Center

Senior citizens continue to keep in shape with chair yoga.

 

Every Tuesday around 12:30 p.m. you can hear laughter and silence alternating from the East Windsor Senior Center’s dining room as part of the weekly chair yoga class.

Led by Robert Slate, the class regularly has more than 20 participants going through their exercises.

Slate said they don’t care of you’re a few minutes late or few minutes early, everybody’s welcome. The class has been chair yoga at the senior center for a a little over three years.


This week about 12 ladies participated in the class, which included stretches in their chairs, stretches holding onto their chairs and standing away from the chairs. Other regular members of the class weren’t there this week because they were on a senior outing.

Slate joked that the ladies were really there for the massages after the exercise session.

“You don’t come here to have a serious time,” Slate, who’s been heading the class since January,  said. “You come here to have a fun time.”

Maria, your dismissive and divisive 'analysis' ignores the fact that POTUS is anRead More "executive" position, also "Commander-in-Chief" of the military! O had exactly ZERO "executive" experience, which--along with his anti-business and anti-America views--explains his failures. Mr. Morici's assessment of O's job performance is perfectly pragmatic and relevant, while your doting worship of the "Agitator-in-Chief" is rather pathetic, as well as being irrelevant.

The author of the article quoted endlessly above is Peter Morici, a Professor of InternationalRead More Business at the University of Maryland. I suppose he is to be forgiven if he sees everything through a business lens, after all it has given him a very comfortable livelihood for decades. But it is still a faulty lens on this topic and he should know better.

The CEO analogy is really dumb. Didn't CEO Jamie Dimon at JP Morgan Chase preside over aRead More multi-billion dollar trading loss last year. Didn't a lot of so-called "good" CEOs look the other way while collecting huge bonuses as their banks became insolvent because of unethical and unwise (and possibly illegal) investments in high-risk securities. These truly were management failures that devastated the U.S. economy But the CEO analogy is understandable given that Mr. Morici and his supporters are so enthralled by the corporate state.
