Historical information

In the 1990s and early 2000s, the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria conducted a range of exercise classes under the theme, "Move It Or Lose It". One such class was a pole exercise class for the Vietnamese community, designed for people 60 years of age and over. In this photo, a small group of people are exercising outdoors on a grass lawn. They are each standing while holding a wooden pole vertically behind their backs, with one arm pulled back above their heads and the other arm outstretched down by their side. In the background, there is some playground equipment surrounded by a metal fence, with a building in the background.
