Spring feels like a new beginning and a fresh start. Let the regenerative powers of sunshine, warm weather and more sunlight restore you and inspire you to spring-clean your world. Spring is a great time to refocus yourself and your family toward making healthy choices so you can enjoy the seasonal changes that come with the longer days.
Try these simple ways to jumpstart your spring cleaning.
Shake up your fitness routine – Take advantage of a warm spring weekend to rethink your attitude toward exercise. Instead of dreading it, think of exercise not as a workout, but as a chance to play and have fun.
Rethink your diet – Keep your food choices simple. Most nutrition experts agree that choosing whole, unprocessed foods, and reducing added sugars and portion sizes will improve your nutrition.
Schedule time for yourself – Time alone helps you recharge and replenish your energy. Schedule some “me” time every day and make it a priority, just as you would a doctor’s appointment or picking up the kids from school.
Do a digital detox – Don’t let phones, laptops and tablets distract you from living your life. Rather than trawling social media, check out new activities or hobbies that might interest you.

Why should I join or attend an exercise program? There are many reasons why older adults need regular exercise. Exercise reduces and eliminates many of the health concerns that come with aging. Regular activity also helps to maintain and reduce the loss of bones and muscles due to aging. There is a correlation between daily physical activity and the reduction of feeling of anxiety and depression in older adults. Besides the social aspect of meeting new people, occasionally we have other activities. this quarter we had a nutritionist provide our group with great information they could use to make better choices at the grocery store.
Selected Medicare Supplement or Advantage programs include wellness, so there would be no charge. The fee for all others is $5 per class.
There is a class that fits everyone’s needs: chair yoga/stretch & balance/strength & balance/ Cardio Fit – Contact Lorraine Haynes: [email protected]
