Type of workout: Stretching and balancing exercises based on the Faithfully Fit program.
Who's in the group: Senior citizens at University Christian Church in Fort Worth.
How often they meet: Monday, Wednesday and Friday; church members take turns leading the class.
Where the group meets: At the church.
What they do: The group uses elastic bands, weights and other tools when exercising to improve fitness and, most of all, balance. They call themselves the Flamingos because standing on one leg for a minute is part of their workout routine.
