[Music] my name is Randy Becnel I'm the wellness director here at Christ's wood and I've been here for five years working with the seniors it's just a passion for me I think it's something I was born to do and I get the joy of making sure that they have a quality of life that they deserve [Music] we do a seasonal Fitness evaluation and from there we can determine or what type of exercise they should be doing now we know it at their age we do a lot of balance deficiencies so I think the balance class that we did here at then we still do it here at Christ's wood is very important and we're seeing some some improvements now are they gonna get full balance back probably not but if they can maintain what they have now their quality of life is just gonna be perfect for the duration here at Christ wood it gets a chance for people in the community to see what Christ was all about our residents have really opened their arms to the outside members we've had some members actually befriend some of the residents here and gone on vacations together I mean that is just wonderful it sends a message out to the community that Christ would is a part of the community and then we're here for a long time here at Christ where we have a 25 yard swimming pool it's heated it's 87 degrees so we have a lot of residents who have a lot of bone and joint issues so the pool is a wonderful place for them to come here and help them with their exercise and help them with that off the rioters so if they've had a hip replacement or a knee replacement that's what they need more than being on land-based exercise the pool is probably the premier thing here at Spicewood community center my approach is all about having fun if you can't enjoy what you're doing as a job or what you're doing and you come to a a wellness center or health club you shouldn't be here I mean fun is the is the part of it that keeps me engaged and we get a lot more success out of it my name is Randy Beck now and I'm just gracious to be part of the Christ would too [Music]
