THOUGHT{FULL} Life Balance—the value of giving back

“ ... The scientific community is also looking more at the outcomes and benefits for older adults who volunteer. The psychosocial and mental health benefits have been studied for several years in regard

to reduced risk factors for depression, loneliness, and isolation. A newer focus is the physical health benefits. In 2013, Carnegie Mellon University researchers looked specifically at the relationship between volunteerism and lower blood pressure.

What about metabolism? Our metabolism starts to slow as we get older. We also start to lose lean muscle mass, which in turn affects the metabolic system. How do we ramp up our slowing metabolism?

Exercise! Regular moderate exercise not only burns more calories, but it also increases the amount of lean muscle mass in our bodies. And that increase in muscle drives our metabolism to be more efficient before, during, and after exercise.

Drink water. Eat a balanced diet, and eat often. Staying hydrated helps with everything from balancing appetite to making your exercise more effective. Skipping meals can lead to overeating, but eating often helps keep your metabolism up and your body and brain ready to go.

Strength train. You’ll build more lean muscle mass. Research is also showing that strength training is good for the brain.

Join the new Kettlebell class Kettlebell training incorporates total-body exercises and requires the use of all major muscle groups and core stabilization. This intermediate-

level class is 30 minutes and will help increase strength, endurance, and muscle toning by focusing on the muscular and cardiovascular systems. Classes is held in the exercise studio Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:15 pm. Certified KettleBell Concepts® Instructor John Hume will lead the class. There’s no charge for club members. Space is limited. Sign up at the club front desk.

Ask us about personal training Feel energetic and strong while doing what you like and want to do. The club’s certified personal trainers can help you recapture your energy and strength, so you can do the daily things that you want and like to do. For residents, personal training can be done in the Health & Fitness Club or in your home. Consider a personal training session to assess your current fitness level. For more information, connect with a trainer at 701-526-1055.

Coming Soon: • Partnership with Profile by Sanford, which is a comprehensive weight-management program designed by Sanford health professionals.

• Outdoor Walking Club and adult group swimming lessons

ORCam representative Stan Mosser and Helen Bastian demonstrate an innovative device that helps people with vision challenges.
