Working out with a partner or staying active alongside your love not only improves your love handles but sweating it out with each other naturally reduces stress and tension. Exercise naturally helps release physical and emotional stress that leave couples in greater harmony together.
Sarah and Steve Waterfill have been members at Baptist Milestone for quite some time. The positive energy they bring to Milestone is contagious, creating a motivating atmosphere. Their playful interaction with one another and other members ensures workouts are enjoyable for everyone, even on Monday mornings! Sarah joined Baptist Milestone in 2000 and Steve in 2001. They have been happily married for 42 years.
HOW DO YOU TWO MAINTAIN AN ACTIVE AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE TOGETHER?
“We both like to hike, play golf, and generally be active. We both work out with trainers two days each week, different trainers,” says Steve. Steve also enjoys spin classes with Dean Brooks, our spin instructor at Baptist Milestone. “The facilities at Milestone are clean and the equipment is well maintained. I enjoy the comradery of regulars in the classes, and they motivate me to work harder. I have had to use physical therapy at Milestone, and they coordinate with my trainer, Heather Albro, so her work compliments the therapist.”
Sarah’s personal trainer, Kelsey Smith, enjoys challenging Sarah to keep her body healthy and her mind alert. “Staying active enhances life experiences when you exercise with a partner. Milestone is a very kind and caring community. We have made many wonderful friends,” Sarah expresses.
They both share the love of working out and staying active at Baptist Milestone. So can YOU! Join Milestone today and contribute to spreading love and positivity amongst yourself and others!
