n old poster on Blane Ingle’s new office wall at Rolling Green Village proclaims “Any Age is the Right Age to Exercise.” “It doesn’t quite match the rest of the artwork,” he chuckles and, indeed, the simple image is an aesthetic outlier to the striking prints and paintings throughout the rest of RGV’s justopened Health & Wellness Center, “but isn’t it a great message?” And Ingle – as Wellness Coordinator at this vibrant retirement community – is an enthusiastic messenger who encourages each and every resident to become as active as they’re physically able. Options range from organized fitness classes to getcha-moving activities like ballroom dancing to wellness-related field trips and hiking excursions … or simply daily constitutionals along the campus’s quiet walking trails.

“Oh, he keeps us going,” says Lynn Woodman, a Rolling Green patio home owner and editor of the community’s “Village Voice.” With a youthful demeanor that belies her years, Woodman is part of a thrice-weekly exercise group that gathers, bright and early, for a varied mix of resistance training, stretching, cardio, floor exercises – “something that looks like a push-up,” she laughs – even modified step aerobics. “Blane makes it so much fun.” Woodman’s circle, about a dozen strong, has been sweating together for years. “We have really bonded – it’s become more than an exercise group,” she says, noting they also share a postworkout breakfast that’s oft as lively as the fitness routine itself. “I love this class for so many reasons. It just gives you so much more energy.” 
