2、listen to trainers and active adults when theyre asked, “Why health and fitness?“ and here are the types of words youll hear enthusiastically spilling out: “Alleviates pain.“ “Decreases stress and anxiety.“ “Less medication.“ “Ive made friends.“ “Slows the aging process.“Essentially, dedication to a
3、 healthy life-style helps free you from various mental and physical obstacles.Take 60-something Chandler resident Brenda Waara, for example. Waara loves ballroom dancing. She and her husband step to the strains of three different dancing clubs each month. Waara also is an aerobic dance competitor in
4、 the Arizona Senior Olympics 60-64 age group. In 2001, she earned a group gold medal and an individual silver. In 2002, she earned an individual gold and a group silver. Oh, and Waara is also a competitive bodybuilder, participating in the last two annual National Physique Competitions.“I havent won
5、 medals, but Ive gotten such positive feedback from everyone. And, Ive never felt better in my life. I feel invincible!“ she said.Waara started weight training three-and-a-half years ago when her doctor - impressed with her initial aerobic regimen and weight loss after years at a desk job - suggeste
6、d weight lifting. He also recommended getting a personal trainer so she wouldnt hurt herself. Since a friend of Waaras had made great progress with arthritis under the watchful eye of independent personal trainer Deryk Garmanian, Waara called him. She still works with Garmanian at least three days a
7、 week.“Hes so creative, every session is different. Now, Im addicted,“ Waara said.Garmanian, who works with many active adults, says exercise strengthens connective tissue and increases bone density, which can slow osteoporosis, minimize arthritis pain, and generally slow the aging process.“In each
8、40- to 45-minute session, I start out my client with a warm-up, followed by lower back strengtheners and an abdominal muscles workout. Weight-bearing exercises work specific parts of upper body, and we always end the session with a walk to stimulate the cardiovascular system. Variety is the key,“ Ga
9、rmanian explained.This variety can include more relaxed healthful activities, too. Diane Mockbee, activity director for Scottsdale Village Square, a senior adult community, said, “Active independent adults take part in a wide variety of activities, including guided imagery and relaxation, massage th
10、erapy and Tai Chi.“Were hearing more about Tai Chi, and its good effects. Its light-impact cardiovascular workout and expanded breath control techniques have worked especially well for those with Parkinsons disease,“ Mockbee said.Health and fitness activities not only provide physical and mental val
11、ue. They can help you find and maintain friendships. One of the best places to do both is in a planned active adult community. Such communities are especially valuable to people wanting health and fitness to become a way of life instead of just a weight-loss program.Kathy Miller, Fitness Coordinator
12、 at Del Webb/Pulte Homes Sun City Grand Adobe Spa, said, “Many of our residents get involved in our health and fitness programs because our community is built and designed for active adults. Even those who dont move here for the active lifestyle end up getting involved because opportunities are so p
13、revalent.“ She added, “Regular exercise - and I stress regular - can alleviate chronic pain, help people cut back on or eliminate certain medications, lower cholesterol levels, increase flexibility and range of motion. Starting an exercise program makes you feel better from the inside out. But, it m
14、ust be a mental change, a life-style change.“Waara has advice for anyone who wants to work toward sustained good health. “Keep moving and eat healthy food! Make it a way of life. Pick something active you enjoy and do it at least three times a week. The better health you have and the more accustomed
15、 to exercise you become, the better youll be able to overcome any health issues.“Garmanian shared his advice as well. “It is never too late to begin weight-bearing exercises, or to make improvements to help slow down the aging process. When you increase your endurance and strength, youre less prone
16、to injury and youll feel better psychologically, too.“Lose that idea that exercise is hard work, time-consuming or boring. Simply sharing a few minutes of active fun, three times a week, with friends can earn you the freedom of better health for a lifetime! So, whats keeping you home?Back to topNew
