Coloring Club

Posted on December 31, 2023 by Norwich

Thursdays at 1:00 p.m.

Our Coloring Club group is looking for people to join them!

Adult coloring has been shown to help reduce stress and anxiety, boost mental clarity, exercise fine motor skills, improve focus and generate creativity.  Not only that, but you get to spend time with others in this fun group doing an easy, creative activity.

Now that Winter’s here, it’s a great time to start something new…indoors!  Not sure if it’s for you?  Stop by and give it a try.  You can bring your own coloring books and coloring supplies but we have extra that you can use to try it out.  Hope to see you there!

 

Step it Up & Stay Active For So Many Reasons

Posted on December 31, 2023 by Norwich

Why Is Physical Activity Important?

Exercise and physical activity are good for just about everyone, including older adults.  No matter your health and physical abilities, you can gain a lot by staying active. In fact, studies show that “taking it easy” is risky.  Often, inactivity is more to blame than age

when older people lose the ability to do things on their own.  Lack of physical activity also can lead to more visits to the doctor, more hospitalizations, and more use of medicines for a variety of illnesses.

Emotional Benefits of Exercise

Research has shown that exercise is not only good for your physical health, it also supports emotional and mental health.  You can exercise with a friend or group and get the added benefit of emotional support.  So, next time you’re feeling down, anxious, or stressed, try to get up and start moving!
