Alrighty. So I want to first start with thanking you all for taking the time to just share your experience, be able to uplift things that would be able to benefit other individuals as well, and really be able to inform programming across the board. So I'm going to start with asking each of you just to do a quick introduction of yourself so you could just share your name, some of your interests, and I'll start with you because you're close to me.

Okay. My name is Colette, and I have multiple sclerosis. And my interests are. My interests are exercising and arts and crafts, a lot of walking and things like that.

Hey, Miss Betty, could you share your name and a little bit about yourself and some of your interests?

Yes, my name is Betty, and some of my interest is also getting into exercise. I used to go to curves and when the COVID came in, I haven't been back since, but I did have in my mind to go back because I really liked it and it was getting me out the house. This is similar to this, you know, move thing. So when I saw that, I, you know, I said, oh, okay, I'll check this out first and, you know, see what's going on with this. So here I am, and that's it.

Thank you. Thank you. And Miss Dolly, could you just share your name and a little bit about yourself?

I'm Dolly. I love to crochet, which I'm not able to do at the moment because of arthritis, severe arthritis. It's going to be a week before I can get it checked out, but I like to keep moving constantly. Whether there's pain or not, I go.

I hear you.

I hear you on that. Thank you, James.

James. High school athlete, college laws, managers and, and like I say, kind of recovering a little bit, but I do take a strong, strong interest in trying to be without look and college, teach, practice, but government job, I do pay attention and try to focus on the hopes of the future. You know, any day.

Exercise.

Life is important. Watch emotion and think a lot. So I'm just casual and hopefully make life just as bright as it'll be. That's all I have.

My name is Karen, and I just want to come out and get a chance to meet people and get out of the house and get some exercise and get some ideas for exercise. Because if I try to self motivate, that doesn't work. But to be in a group setting, that really helps me. So that's my purpose.

Beautiful. And I know some of you touched on this already, but what were some of the motivations for joining this particular class or if you joined classes in the past, what are some of the things that motivated you? One, to be interested in signing up, and two, in actually showing up today.

To the exercises my sister suggested. And I think it's a great plan. 80 at one time, but I think it's an assistant. But I think it has been great the last month. I've learned new things, and I think exercises are careful attention. It's health that I appreciate.

I'm motivated, like I said earlier, just to be able to get out and about among other people and get some ideas, you know, because groupthink really helps me. Absolutely. Absolutely.

How about you?

I was motivated also because normally, I hate to admit it, but usually I would be in the bed at 01:00 so it really, you know, like, not every day, some days, because, you know, I have some good days and some bad days, but then when I know, okay, like I was saying last night, Thursday, you know, I'm supposed to come here for the, you know, get up and move. And so that kind of makes me, you know, get up and get myself together, you know, to come here because, you know, I want to see what else is going on, and I fear when I leave and, you know, that sort of stuff.
