INCREASE THE INTENSITY - In the case of cardiovascular exercise, this January 13 - 22

of moving from the Seattle area. After looking at the Del

John is a retired manufacturing engineer from Boeing and Chrystal continues working virtually Saturday and Sunday
with her clients in the State of Washington. Leaving the gray rain and unreasonably cold weather 7:00 am – 10:00 pm
was not a hard decision.
They have been married 36+ years and believe it is amazing that spending so much time
together has left no one maimed for life! Chrystal loves to read and is the “organizer of record”
for the “Sun City Festival Singers.” John enjoys golf and photography and both enjoy traveling,
and are looking forward to a return trip to Japan. They both love most sports (particularly
baseball), walking, working out at the Sage Fitness Center, and sharing time with new friends.
