Autumnal joy: Seniors experience an unforgettable exercise session!

The residents of the SeneCura social center in Pöchlarn welcomed autumn with a lot of enthusiasm and joy at a colorful “exercise session” that took place last week. The event featured an entertaining program full of dancing, games and creative exercises, with the colorful leaves and chestnuts of autumn taking center stage. The voluntary leadership of Gerti Wildom and senior carer Heidi Fasching created a warm atmosphere that filled all participants with energy and joy of life. “It was a wonderful afternoon – like when I was a child hopping through leaves,” enthused Maria Fischl.

Activation through creative exercises

In the banquet hall of the social center, people actively worked with leaves and chestnuts during the “autumn exercise round”. Exercises such as the “leaf dance” and the humorous target shooting with chestnuts were particularly popular. A highlight was the net game, in which everyone balanced leaves together - an exercise that caused a lot of laughter and strengthened team spirit. Ulrike Finger, the house manager, emphasized: “Such offers not only promote exercise, but also a sense of community and quality of life.” This autumnal event ensured that the residents were not only physically but also mentally stimulated and brought fresh energy into their everyday lives.

Autumn was also celebrated in the Graz districts, where a festive Oktoberfest took place, which revived the colorful diversity of the autumnal season. (Like on Facebook reported.) This celebratory occasion also brought people together to enjoy the beauties of autumn and experience interactive activities. Such celebrations strengthen a sense of togetherness and brighten the shorter days that lie ahead.
