In the Wellness Spotlight: Larry Wanaselja
Larry Wanaselja is our current resident in the Wellness Spotlight. Larry and his wife, Phyllis, moved to Quarryville Presbyterian Retirement Community in 2021 from Delaware. Larry enjoys art and reading but has become drawn more recently to active-oriented activities and exercising.
Larry and Phyllis did not waste any time as they quickly became members of the Wellness Center within a month of moving in. Larry really values the Wellness Center as an easy-to-access facility within walking distance. He enjoys various programs and activities including swimming, fitness classes, and working out using the fitness machines. He also participates in several resident-run athletic activities including water volleyball in the pool and pickleball on the sport court.
The benefits of exercising are clear to Larry. He states that a regular exercise program has helped him with certain health challenges. The positive effects of exercise have provided ongoing motivation to stay active and to continue to build strength. In addition, he enjoys exercising because it makes him feel good and provides a dimension of discipline which he appreciates.
Larry likes to participate in different special events organized by the Wellness Center. He participated in the Lancaster Senior Games last spring and more recently in our very own Turkey Trot.
When asked what advice he would give to someone who wants to start exercising, Larry provided some tips. He suggests having a partner to encourage and support you in your fitness journey and establish a routine early on.
Larry has a wonderful positive attitude and is very encouraging to others. It is a pleasure to feature him as Quarryville’s “Resident in the Wellness Spotlight.”
