Hello HealthTrip Participants!
A native of Aerobiquerque, Dr. Fiesta, provides medical care to hundreds of area residents and recognizes the importance of regular aerobic activity to maintain good overall health. That’s why he recently hosted the Mexican Jumping Bean contest with overwhelming success! Over 1,000 Aerobiquerquians came together for an afternoon of jump roping and fun at this first-time event. Veteran jump roper, Al Betcha Exercise, had this to say about the contest: “jump-roping gets my blood flowing, my heart beating faster, and makes me feel energized. It was neat to witness so many friends and neighbors enjoying this great aerobic activity together!”
Thinking about trying a new aerobic activity this week? Grab your rope and jump into this fun form of exercise for something different.
Jump In!
