Forsyth County’s senior citizens are invited to attend a special upcoming event, tailored just for them and highlighting the issues of health and fitness. The Forsyth County Senior Center and the Forsyth County Parks and Recreation Department are hosting the second annual Seasoned Adult Fitness Event (S.A.F.E.) Day on Tuesday, August 29. The event will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Central Park Recreation Center.

S.A.F.E. Day provides health and fitness activities and information for adults ages 60 and up. The event offers seniors the opportunity to try new fitness activities in an open setting.

"The S.A.F.E Day event is an outstanding opportunity for our seasoned residents to learn more about a variety of important topics and to actually participate in an activity class," said Senior Center Director Shelley Johnson.

Activities include yoga, Tai Chi, line dancing, Pilates, weight training and indoor walking. All activities will be instructor-led and will rotate every 30 minutes. Health screenings by Northside Hospital Forsyth will be provided free of charge. The event is sponsored by Tugaloo Home Health.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. A complimentary nutritious lunch and t-shirt will be provided for the first 200 registered participants. The Central Park Recreation Center is located at 2300 Keith Bridge Road.
