Starting or maintaining a regular exercise routine can be a
challenge as you get older. You may feel discouraged by illness,
ongoing health problems, or concerns about injuries or falls.
Or, if you’ve never exercised before, you may not know
where to begin. Or perhaps you think you’re too old
or frail, or that exercise is boring or simply
not for you.
While these may seem
like good reasons to slow
down and take it easy as
you age, they’re actually even
better reasons to get
moving. Exercise can
energize your mood,
relieve stress, help you
manage symptoms of illness and pain, and improve your overall sense of well-being.
In fact, exercise is the key to staying strong, energetic, and healthy as you get older.
And it can even be fun, too.
No matter your age or your current physical condition, you can benefit from
exercise. Reaping the rewards of exercise doesn’t require strenuous workouts or trips
to the gym. It’s about adding more movement and activity to your life, even in small
ways. Whether you are generally healthy or are managing an illness—even if you’re
housebound—there are many easy ways to get your body moving and improve your
health. {Excerpts from HELPGUIDE.org}
We are here to help. The Oasis is always open. Our equipment is user friendly
and more instruction is available if you need it. We offer exercise classes 5 days a
week as well as line dancing. We have more than 2 miles of hallways and over a
mile of landscaped trails outside for walking. Our Walk with Ease program begins
September 8th at 10:30 am in the PAC – a great opportunity to begin an exercise
program. Can you walk indoors for 10 minutes? “Graduates” are welcome. Bring a
friend. Make plans to join us in September.
