The "Dancing with the Stars" series has sprouted new and enduring interest in ballroom dancing; health practitioners are promoting dancing as a healthy exercise for physical fitness as well as prevention of dementia and Alzheimers.  I remember the joy at age 11 learning the 2-step (poor man's fox trot?) to "You Belong to Me" and the hesitation waltz to "Tennessee Waltz" at Francisco Jr. High in San Francisco; later the thrill of "getting it" after learning to jitterbug, and still later the mambo …

This group is a "sister" group to East Bay Walkers (run by my brother Mike). We're a group of 30's/40's/50's hikers who want to get some exercise and explore the Bay Area on moderate hikes that are 2 to 4 hours in length. Most of the hikes will be on well-developed trails, and will be geared-toward the novice to intermediate-level hiker.

Some of the benefits you can get from using the foam roller are: - Decreased back pain - Reduced knee pain - Improved posture* - More efficient exercise and e …

Meet other local people in their 30's, 40's & 50's who are interested in Walking for fitness! Not much of a jogger? Me neither. I prefer the relaxation and conversation you gain from walking with a group of friends. Walking in a location with a view, away from the street noise, is a big plus. One of my favorites is Angel Island. Prefer those who are in relatively good shape (capable of walking at a good pace for at least an hour and able to talk at the same time). If you're not sure, chances are …

Laid Back Lively Ladies--it's a bit of a contradiction, isn't it? But it couldn't be more perfect. Most women have incredibly diverse interests--enjoying an occasional night on the town but also loving a casual movie night or a girl’s night in. This group is for women for whatever reason have looked around and realized, “Hm--I don’t have many girlfriends anymore.” Perhaps you are in this funny stage between college and marriage, or post-divorce. Or maybe through the years your friendships ha …

This is a group for 20s and 30s in the east bay interested in adding some weekly runs and geting together with people their own age. All running levels are welcome. I started this group to meet other runners who are interested in meeting at a local bar, going on a run and then grabbing a drink after or meeting up on a Saturday for a long run and grabbing breakfast. There are so many running groups in SF and Berkeley areas that I can't make because of location and timing that I thought it might b …

This group is dedicated to helping people in the Martinez and Pleasant Hill area find and connect with people who are interested in yoga, meditation, and other forms of wellness. This list is not only for students but also for teachers and (at least in my case) studio owners.

While I inte …
