It feels like yesterday when many of us found every excuse to take three walks a day, sign up for the latest Zoom virtual workout class, or invest in the infamous Peloton. These are all still efficient ways to stay healthy, but it became easy to wrap ourselves in the comparison game with too much time on our hands and the constant access to social media. The pressure and urge to be as fit as possible can become almost unsustainable, leaving many people thinking they have lost the race to others around them. Like the Thoroughbreds and jockeys of the Kentucky Derby, robust health does not happen overnight or cross a finish line. It takes time, patience and most importantly, confidence in yourself. The two-minute race is just a part of the horse’s and jockey’s journey. It’s remarkable, but it takes obstacles and triumphs, like health and wellness.
At the Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center, members feel supported and brave when they enter the doors, despite their age, weight, gender and experience in fitness. We spoke with Lorna Segall, a Milestone member, to hear how the community has taught her balance and brought her bliss.
