Texas Christian University's Harris College of Nursing & Health Sciences is looking for a few G.O.G.'s (Good Old Geezers) to participate in a supervised exercise program beginning in August.

Here, two feisty old geezers gang up on a female instructor after their sauna privileges were revoked.
Open to those age 60 or over (i.e., old farts) who are fit enough to participate (physician approval required), the program will cover 32 sessions over a 16 week period and includes a four-month membership in the TCU Recreation Center. That facility boasts strength training gear, an indoor track, cardiovascular equipment, indoor/outdoor pools, racquetball and squash courts, and use of the sauna and locker room.
Cost to participate in the program is $200, or $120 if you're an old fart who already has a TCU Rec Center membership.
The goal of the program is to help seniors (specifically, those ponying up the $200 participation fee) become more physically fit, lose weight, gain strength and flexibility, and improve their overall quality of life - while having fun and making some new friends. Except, of course, for the curmudgeonly-inclined amongst the group. Fitness assessment sessions will be conducted at the start and end of the program to document progress.
To sign up, or for more information, contact the Center for Healthy Aging at 817-257-6391.
