Senior Exercise Tips

Senior Exercise Tips

Older adults aren’t off the hook regarding needed exercise. In fact, these years are some of the best times to reap the benefits of physical activity.
The CDC recommends that adults aged 65 and older aim for:

At least 150 minutes a week (30 minutes a day, five days a week) of moderate-intensity activity such as brisk walking. Or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity activity such as hiking, jogging, or running.
At least two days a week of activities that strengthen muscles.
Plus, activities to improve balance, such as standing on one foot, are incorporated into your daily routine.
Of course, if chronic conditions affect an adult’s ability to meet these recommendations, be as physically active as abilities and conditions allow.

Luckily, 150 minutes a week of cardio is easily accomplished—even enjoyable—if you set yourself up for success with an enjoyable exercise regimen.

Arches

This massive dessert rock weighs in at an estimated 3,577 Tons and stands at 128 feet tall. That’s about the length of three yellow school buses.

Celebrating Moms

Happy Mother´s Day

The extraordinary richness of what-it-is-to-be-human can be veiled by its normality. Wisdom is often in noticing things so ordinary that they escape notice. Such as motherhood.
We should observe Mother’s Day if for no other reason than it prompts us to look again at something right in front of us. By an unalterable, if somewhat surprising design of nature, everyone has a mother. To say that the role of mothers is no accident but rather something chalked out by nature is, well, just the beginning. Something so universal, so specific, and so consequential can only be the fruit of intentionality. And this means there are treasures of goodness hidden within, waiting to blossom.

The reality of motherhood points right to the heart of what it is to be human—if we have eyes to see. But it’s easy to miss, both by mother and mothered. Here is no peripheral occupation for the one, nor peripheral formative agency for the other. Mothering touches and, in a sense, actualizes the deepest identity of a woman, and being mothered, along with being fathered, touches and actualizes the deepest identity of a son or daughter.

Arches

Double O Arch

The second largest arch within the Devils Garden area. As the name implies, there are two arches here, one large, with a
span of 71 feet, stacked atop a much smaller arch with a 21-foot span. It was formed by downward water erosion from atop the sandstone, rather than from side-to-side water erosion.

Senior Social Life

Senior Social Life

An active social life isn’t just for young people. Senior citizens also benefit from socialization.
Human beings are social creatures. It is a part of our survival. We thrive through cooperation with others. Social interactions influence our mental and emotional wellbeing. This has a direct influence on our overall health.

Elderly people are at a higher risk for medical conditions. They are also more likely to experience feelings of loneliness and depression. As we age, we tend to experience more life changes. One of the biggest is the loss of those around us. Physical limitations can make it difficult to expand our social circle. While loved ones grow older and pass away, many seniors find it challenging to meet new people and remain socially active.

If you or someone you love is a senior, it’s important to be proactive about being social. Find opportunities to meet people and connect with friends. Whether it’s in person or online, interactions can help us live happier, longer lives.

Arches National Park

Arches National Park
Arches National Park

One of the Southwest’s most gorgeous parks, Arches boasts the world’s greatest concentration of sandstone arches. Just 5 miles north of Moab on Hwy 191, the park is extremely packed in summer. Consider a sunrise or moonlight exploration, when it’s cooler and the rocks feel ghostly. Many arches are easily reached by paved roads and relatively short hiking trails.

Park highlights include the iconic Delicate Arch and ranger-led outings to Fiery Furnace (tour info available at the visitor center).

Layered Fruit & Shrimp Salad

Ingredients:
2 cups watermelon balls
2 cups cantaloupe balls
2 cups honeydew balls
2 cups sliced peaches
2 cups sliced pears
2 cups quartered orange sections
2 cups sliced plums
1 cup fresh blueberries

2 dozen (21-25) count boiled shrimp
2 cups crawfish tails
1 recipe fruity yogurt dressing
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

In a large glass serving bowl, layer fruit by alternating stratas of color. Once all the fruit has been layered, line shrimp and crawfish in a decorative pattern around the edge of the bowl. Top with fruity yogurt dressing and toss the mixture to blend the dressing into the fruit. Sprinkle with pecans and serve immediately.

Fruit is not just for dessert anymore! With its wide range of colors and textures, nothing makes a more beautiful entree salad than layers of fresh or canned fruit. Why not create an interesting and unique summer salad by combining colorful, healthful fruit with fresh shrimp or other seafood?
