This year, The Marsh’s Active Aging program is designed to encourage members and non-members alike to explore fitness activities that bring you enjoyment, as well as help you accomplish your health and fitness goals.
Our Active Aging Week Kick-off Event!
What motivates adults to physical activity? We know it varies from person-to-person, by gender and age, etc. Some people are motivated by health and fitness goals, while others want to reduce their stress, and yet others seek social and emotional benefits. No matter what your motivation, we know that the key to sustaining a fitness program is finding something that you enjoy doing. On Monday, September 22, we will kick-off our Active Aging Week with an educational program and fun fitness experiential which will include:
• The Importance of Exercise No Matter What Your Age by Health Services Director Joel French, Ph.D. Learn health benefits of exercise, including stress reduction, injury prevention and cardiovascular fitness
• An exploration of some favorite fitness activities. You will move from
