This series is free with your membership or daily admission. Golden Yoga begins Jan. 17, and continues every Thursday from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Fieldhouse through April. Registration is $50 for the four months.

Eligibility for SilverSneakers expanded Jan. 1, adding certain AARP Medicare Supplemental insurance subscribers to the list of people who qualify for FREE Parker Recreation memberships. If your supplement is through Humana, Kaiser Permanente, Secure Horizons or AARP, please stop by the Recreation Center front desk to determine your eligibility.

It's not too late to sign up for the Living Active Challenge!
If you haven't signed up for the Living Active Challenge (formerly the 30/30 Challenge), it's not too late! Between now and Jan. 31, your goal is to perform 180 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per week. You can run, bike, swim or take an aerobics class; even a brisk walk qualifies. Mix it up however you want, but you must complete 720 minutes by the end of the month. The grand prize for this challenge is an ipod, so we're making it worth your effort!
