Whatever your regimen may be – from walking and weights, to golf and tennis – the important thing is to get started, and keep going.
While any fitness activity is beneficial, mixing things up forces the brain to be alert and nimble in trying new things.

Here at Living Court Assisted Living Community, our residents take part in health and fitness programming designed to benefit both the body and brain.

More than ever, older adults understand the importance of keeping their bodies and brains in good health.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests 150 minutes of exercise per week, with guidelines on splitting cardio and muscle-strengthening exercise.

Along with the health benefits, physical activity helps reduce the risk of falling, which is one of the biggest health and safety risks facing older adults.

While any fitness activity is beneficial, it’s best to mix things up – it forces the brain to be alert and nimble in trying new things rather than going on autopilot while doing something you’ve done many times before.

Whatever your regimen may be – walking, weights, golf, tennis – the important thing is to get started, and keep going.
