Peter’s kicking his healthy habits goals

There’s something about the approach of the new year that makes many of us want to get into gear and start ticking off some of our goals.

For Peter, a resident at one of our Baulkham Hills homes, that goal of his is fitness!

“Before the pandemic, Peter was very active and loved attending the gym and swimming. Obviously, we couldn’t do that for a long time and Peter was finding it hard to be motivated to go back. With support and encouragement from his support staff, we have gotten back into the routine of visiting the local gym and pool on his rostered days off,” said Support Worker, Sandy Perez.

When we spoke to Sandy and Peter, they were on their way to the gym. Peter said, “I enjoy using the different equipment and swimming.”

After a few weeks of consistency, Peter now knows how to work every machine at the gym.

Sandy added, “He then loves to cool off in the pool with some swimming and some weeks he uses the sauna as well. We also cook lots of healthy meals at home which Peter enjoys.”

Peter has been living at the Baulkham Hill home for around 10 years now, and Sandy has been there every step of the way for the last 7.

“Now that we’ve achieved this goal, I asked Peter he wants to work on next. He told me he’d like to go on another holiday, so we are trying to organise that for the new year,” said Sandy.

Peter’s last holiday was a cruise with his housemates, and its one that they really enjoyed and made some very cherished memories on.

We can’t wait to see where Peter goes next.
