The City Council of Cieza, through the Senior Citizen Area of ??the Department of Social Welfare, which is owned by Melba Miñano Bleda, implements within its annual project 'Active Seniors' the program 'We are with you', in order to offer to the major activities that contribute to their physical and mental well-being in these difficult times that this group is especially facing, derived from the serious global crisis due to the covid-19 pandemic.They point out from the council that "for many months the elderly have been living almost entirely confined at home, without being able to carry out many of the activities that they normally carry out in their day-to-day life and contribute to having a good quality of life.

Autumn has arrived and the need for our elders, even when they are at home, to remain active is essential to prevent other pathologies associated with inactivity and sedentary lifestyle, as well as social isolation ".'We are with you' was born in order to meet that need and "help our elders to face this difficult moment in a dynamic way and while making them active and not feeling alone.

To do this, the activities that many of them did at the Senior Center before the pandemic, now they will reach their homes through the local media.

"As of Monday, October 19, thanks to the collaboration between the Municipal Center for the Elderly 'Las Morericas', the local television Telered and the radio station Onda Cieza, the elderly will have the possibility to actively participate in gerontogimnasia classes, yoga and tai chi, with the primary objective of boosting their immune system, strengthening muscles, working coordination, avoiding deterioration associated with sedentary lifestyle, as well as stimulating the cognitive system and positive thoughts in order to continue promoting healthy habits among our elders who avoid the dependence.The Telered will offer within its programming the space 'We are with you' every morning from Monday to Thursday from 10.30 to 11.15 h.

and from 7pm to 7.45pm, as well as a weekly summary of all sessions on Saturday mornings from 10am to 1pm.

The elderly, as well as the rest of the population of the municipality that has this contracted chain, will be able to follow and carry out these classes at their homes that will be taught by the same monitors who have normally taught them at the Municipal Center for the Elderly 'Las Morericas' .Onda Cieza will in turn offer two mornings a week from 9.30 a.m.

to 9.50 a.m.
