Beau-Fitt Participants Learn Tai Chi

The next Beau-Fitt session will be a food demonstration and sample session Tuesday, April 11 at 4:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room of Building 10 on the Beaufort County Community College campus. Beau-Fitt has enrolled 199 people in the program.

Most recently the City of Washington employees joined the effort to make Beaufort County healthier. MDC grant funds helped the college provide 41 city employees with Garmin fit bands. A weekly challenge and leaderboard helps people stay on track with their steps and propels them to walk more and become healthier.

Eric Humphries, tai chi instructor, led 40 participants at the most recent Beau-Fitt health and wellness session at the college. Humphries has ten years of tai chi instructional practice and had the group move through various poses and stretches to relax their muscles. The event was attended by folks of all ages.

If you have a Garmin band and would like to join Beau-Fitt contact Sonia Armstrong, coordinator, at 252-940-6211.
