Staying active amid pandemic

The last year has made staying active tough for many people, but seniors have been hit the hardest, as many in person activities were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Senior Coordinator Rebecca Bukowski for the Concord Parks and Recreation Department said they are feeling hopeful for summer, with less chance of spreading the virus outside and more people now getting vaccinated against the virus.
Bukowski and her husband are both seniors that have searched for ways to stay active and safe during the pandemic. Her husband found playing pickleball was great in the fall when it was outside, but decided to stop during the winter because it was inside and not everyone chose to wear masks. One thing they’ve both done to stay active and fit is swim, which they have had to book ahead of time.
