Troy J Pearson—Wellness Director

Did you know there are many types of exercise and that you get different benefits from each one? Endurance or aerobic activity will increase your breathing and heart rate. They keep your heart, lungs, and circulatory system healthy and improve your overall fitness. Building your endurance makes it easier to carry out many of your everyday activities. Endurance exercises include: Brisk walking or jogging, yard-work/housework and dancing. Resistance exercises make your muscles stronger. They may help you stay independent and carry out everyday activities, such as climbing stairs and carrying groceries. These exercises also are called "strength training". Strength exercises include: lifting weights, using resistance bands and body weight exercises. Balance exercises can help prevent falls, a common problem in older adults. Many lower-body strength exercises will also improve your balance. Balance exercises include: Standing on one leg, heel-to-toe walk and Tai-Chi. Flexibility exercises stretch your muscles and can help your body stay limber. Being flexible gives you more freedom of movement for other exercises as well as for your everyday activities, including driving and getting dressed. Flexibility exercises include: Yoga, Stretch Class.
