Movement for Older Bodies

The latest research shows that a sedentary lifestyle is as debilitating as smoking which, for decades, has been reported to have significant adverse consequences on physical, mental/cognitive, and emotional health and well-being. But, in the midst of everything, how can we find time to exercise? And how do we meaningfully encourage older loved ones to regularly engage in healthy movement? This ACAP program will help participants become aware of healthy movement and its impact on physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being, local resources that focus on supporting movement and exercise for an older population, and specific movement activities and exercises that will help strengthen bodies and minds at all stages of aging.
