Cardio helps even if you have memory issues It’s never too late to adopt brain-protecting exercise, even if you show early signs of memory loss. A study published online March 23, 2021, by the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease looked at how cardio exercise affects people with early cognitive decline. Those who followed a yearlong moderate-to-vigorous cardio program scored better on cognitive tests than those who only did a stretching routine. Specifically, they improved their executive function skills, which involve planning and decision making. Most exercisers did brisk walking, but others did swimming, cycling, or ballroom dancing. They followed a 30-minute, three-day-a-week routine for six months and then increased it to five workouts per week.

Balance and Core Boosters Mondays at 10am

This entry-level class is designed to improve balance through better body awareness, posture, and lower body strength. We will also strengthen the muscles in the body’s trunk to help hips, abdomen, and pelvis support your spine, improve your balance and stability, and maintain your stamina. Seated and standing exercises target specific core muscles to improve posture and function. Gain confidence for daily living as well through drills and movements designed to safely improve overall mobility and movement to prevent injuries and reduce the risk of falls.
