In celebration of Older Americans Month, the Northern Wake Senior Center, 235 E. Holding Ave., will host Senior Health & Fitness Day on Wednesday, May 31, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Free and open to residents of all ages, the occasion will focus on the health and well-being of adults 55 and over.

During the event, attendees can view cooking demonstrations and participate in a variety of fitness classes, including Cardio Drumming, Dance Fusion, and Tai Chi. Community advocates specializing in topics ranging from mental health to proper footwear to lifelong learning will also be on site, along with a smoothie truck.

This year’s theme, “Aging Unbound,” encourages communities to offer opportunities highlighting a wide range of aging experiences and promoting the importance of enjoying independence and fulfillment on the aging path.
