Your Bridge to Health; Promoting Optimal Wellness for Mind, Body & Spirit

Celebrate National Senior Health and Fitness Day. The last Wednesday in May is Senior Health & Fitness Day.  Approximately 100,000 senior adults will participate in activities across the United States.

What are your plans for exercise today?

Make time for a walk, bike, tennis, yoga, tai chi, pilates or kayak. Exercise and a good night’s sleep can increase serotonin, giving a sense of well being and help control blood pressure.

Cape Ann has many beautiful parks, beaches and woods to enjoy a peaceful walk. Or, enjoy one of the many fitness centers where you can exercise no matter the weather. Mix it up and ry something new.

#AWalkaDay

Recruit a friend to join you and make it more fun! See what your local council on aging and senior centers have to offer. 

Note: Check with your doctor prior to beginning a new exercise program. Exercise within safe guidelines and the recommendations of your physician.
