  • 2. If you read the title and said to yourself, wait a minute, its July: July is the time to celebrate independence and unification. As countries and as individuals, we are keenly attracted to the notion of independence. Research tells us that its our lifestylethings we do and choices we makethat determines how we will age. According to research done at California State University, Fullerton by C. Jessie Jones and Roberta E. Rikli, a key element in maintaining independence later in life is sustaining ones fitness capacity Brian Pryor Executive Vice President Declare interdependence! CAPTURING DELIGHT{FULL} MOMENTS Putting together a fun (and slightly messy) handmade note, Arline Hudson works with Life Enrichment/Wellness Director Anne-Marie Fitz to press her print on notecards that she sent to her children. Looking over the print, Arline shared, You can learn an awful lot about yourself when you look at your own prints. Local comedienne Auntie Kreamsaugen (from Park Rapids Jaspers Theater) entertained during the monthly birthday bash. She used joyful as her theme, which fit perfectly with the laughter, singing, and dancing. Residents toured the Fargo Air Museum, checking out the plans for future expansion. Mayor Dennis Walaker and challenger Brad Wimmer stopped by to visit and discuss the upcoming elections. (cont.)
  • 3. CLUB NEWS H FITNESS PERSONAL TRAINER AWARD LIFE STORY PERSONAL CARE PERSON-CENTERED CARE AQUATIC July is Berry Month! Did you know that blueberries can help with your workout? The high water content can help keep the body hydrated during exercise. Blueberries have one of the highest amounts of antioxidants of any fruit and are a complex carbohydrate that provides you with energy. A handful of blueberries is a great snack to have an hour before your workout. Blueberries are also considered to improve memory as well as prolong the aging process of the brain. The most nutritious way to have blueberries is fresh or frozen. Try this healthy blueberry smoothie recipe (just throw them in a blender and blend until smooth): 1/2 cup skim milk 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or nonfat plain yogurt 1 cup frozen blueberries 1 tsp honey New programs to try Circuit Training. Short on time? Try a circuit training class! Circuit training combines strength and cardiovascular exercises while moving from station to station. Classes are Mondays and Wednesdays 5:30 to 6 pm.

This time, they helped save baby ducklings. Diving into our work (strength, endurance, agility, and balance). Simple, right? So why declare interdependence? Because life happens. Appointments, other priorities, injuries, and many other reasons all serve to interfere with or distract our attention from exercise. Encouragement and accountability can be essential to sticking with a fitness program. In our office, several team members go to the local YMCA to exercise at noon. Sometimes, we join a group exercise class together, and other days we each do an individual program; regardless, we check in with each other. We carpool. We rearrange schedules. During this month when we celebrate unity and independence, ask someone to start a walking group with you. Join a class. Walk around the corner and visit a friend. Ask a Life Enrichment/Wellness team member about steps you could take with others to improve your fitness capacity. Declare interdependenceand gain more independence!
