Motivated to keep moving!

Our newly-formed Keep Moving Exercise Class meets on Mondays at 2:30 pm in the Community Room in Staenberg Commons.  The class can be done entirely in your chair, if you have mobility challenges.  We had our first session on Monday the 28th, replacing the former class after that teacher took another job.  There's no cost for seniors at the Crown Center or in the community, if you want to join us.  I ordered copies of the booklet above to share with participants, along with the poster you see below (and HERE).

I also learned online (HERE) that a 2019 study in JAMA Internal Medicine on older women found that as few as 4,400 steps daily was associated with longer life compared to those who were more sedentary.  Although more advantages were seen as step counts went up, they tend to level off around 7,500 steps — not 10,000 as we've heard.

That's great that the Crown Center offers classes like these and that they adapt them for all types of mobility.
