Train to Maintain Your Brain
Week of October 23, 2021
Who wants to retain or possibly improve memory, cognitive function, processing speed, balance, gait, and posture? Who doesn’t?! This cutting edge, research-based, exercise program offers moves that stimulate your motor, cognitive, and sensory domains so that you develop:
- better balance
- more coordination
- prodded memory
- enhanced posture
- faster gait
- better functional movement capability
The unique aspect of this program is its INTEGRATED approach to posture, balance, fall prevention, walking speed, strength, and cognition. People trip when distracted; lose cognitive ability when stuck in routines; increase fall risk when posture degrades. Even stride speed relates to longevity. You can positively affect all these conditions with targeted, unique — dare I even say– fun exercises based on the latest science and applied to your functional life.
If you have brain health concerns or simply want to play, laugh, and learn tasks that stimulate your brain and body all-in-one, come join me. Each session offers stand-alone activities so you can attend any day or all and still walk away with moves to keep your brain and body functioning better and longer.
