http://www.channelnewsasia.com/mobile/singapore/underwater-santa-gives/2355522.html

A well-spent morning at one of Singapore most iconic place - Underwater World Singapore 

A shoutout to specially thank the sponsor, Underwater World Singapore, Thye Hua Kwan BMV staffs and the wonderful volunteers and instructors for making this morning fun fitness and outing such a success. 

Our seniors enjoyed themselves so much and the feedback was overwhelming 

Indeed it was an unforgettable underwater experience for the seniors today. Kudos ! The Santa diver was truly a highlight for all. 

Many seniors have not visited UWS for a long while but never too late to revisit a place that was once so familiar.. While for some, it was their first visit today... nonetheless everyone left the place with sweetest smiles and fond memories

How internet has helped us. Thank you

Jacqueline shares how the internet has helped the group further its cause, “The internet has helped us to reach out to a wider group of audience and bring awareness of our initiative to the bigger community. We have several people who contacted us to volunteer, after knowing about us through social media. The social media has been a good and easy channel of communication, bridging us with the public.”

Fun games with seniors - 24 Oct 2015

We did not conduct our usual exercise activity

Instead we played games indoor with seniors due to the haze..

Strenuous activity will not continue should the haze continues above the unhealthy range.

It's our responsibility to take care of ourselves. 

Friends, please drink lots of water and do wear a mask when outdoor. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Upcoming activity at THK BMV

Been missing our volunteer activities due to the haze...

Fret not, our next fun fitness activity with seniors is here!

Our story unrevealed - All thanks to Our Better World for sharing

Many of us can easily whip out our running shoes or head to the gym. Some seniors, however, because of their ailments, no longer exercise or attend any fitness classes. They feel old. I want to tell them that they can age actively. I want to reach out to those in need and reignite their confidence, and at the same time, gather like-minded people to bring fitness to them. That's why I started Get Movin' for Charity. We started our first Zumba Gold class two years ago. Designed primarily for seniors, including those who haven't been physically active in a while, the class was very well received. Ever since, we have been conducting free fitness programmes at various senior activity centres. We have seen tremendous improvement in the elderly we work with, not just physically and mentally, but socially as well. Very importantly, we show them that they can have fun and joy while keeping fit. And I believe the love, care and concern shown to them has contributed to the success of this movement. We want to get more seniors healthier, happier and also to build up their self-confidence. So we hope more people will join us. Coaches or instructors can kick-start their own programmes in their neighbourhoods while other volunteers can assist with the planning and organising of these activities. There's so much each of us can do. -

Completed activity: THK BMV Get Movin for Charity 08 Nov 2014

Time flies……2 years ago, when we first started with a pure intention to bring free fitness program to the elderly sector, to ignite their confidence and get them active. We believe everyone needs to age actively and gracefully. We went into the senior activity centres in the neighbourhood to spread this initiative. Today we celebrated our 2nd year anniversary with healthier and fitter elderly.

They had so much fun taking photoshoots with quirky and fun props. We gave out Polaroid photos, new tops donated by kind souls and even conducted lucky draw.We are so glad to see the elderly becoming happy,cheerful and positive than they were before.

~ Somehow I feel, for the past 2 years it wasn't just fitness alone that have made them healthier, it was because we have also brought them happiness, love, care and concern ~

Friends, join us to bless someone within your neighbourhood. Do something for someone. Start your own cause or join hands with us
