Extending Life through Senior Fitness for Mind and Body

When we engage our minds we often feel more energetic and enthusiastic for each new day. So Avamere at Berry Park's senior health and fitness activity program strives to keep seniors mentally and physically active. Simple exercise routines help residents feel healthier and more alive. And exercising at one's level is very important. You may have a workout routine in place, or you can learn something new, like yoga or tai-chi. Avamere at Berry Park has something for everyone.

It's been proven that exercise programs for seniors, can improve one's health, mental fitness and prolong the onset of dementia or Alzheimer s. A recent study from the National Institute on Aging found that within a four-year period, seniors who regularly listened to the radio, read newspapers and books, visited museums and other similar sites, effectively lowered their risk of developing Alzheimer's by 47%. This really reinforces the importance of keeping our mind and body working as we age.

Senior Fitness through Spirituality

At Avamere at Berry Park, we stand by the idea that spiritual beliefs and matters involving one's religion are an individual concern. We support all our residents beliefs and provide many different ways for them to continue following their paths. We often hold Bible study groups, meditation and prayer sessions, and will sometimes bring in visiting pastoral staff for weekly services.

Exercise Programs for All Levels

Even though everyone's levels vary, Avamere Living at Berry Park supports all residents in the quest for better health through physical activity. We encourage participation in a variety of senior citizen fitness activities that might include strength exercises such as casual lifting and chair-based exercises. Plus cardiovascular exercises such as stretching and walking to increasing circulation of the heart and improving conditions such as high cholesterol and diabetes.
