Summertime is an active time.
We are drawn outdoors to enjoy the warm sun and summer breezes.
However, keeping our seniors active is a challenge, as many feel they are "too old" for exercise programs. Combining the summer season with active activities can put a new "spin" on movement programs. Take advantage of your outdoor areas and conduct your next active game or exercise program outdoors!
