Who says you need to slow down as you age?
You will find many Atria Kew Gardens residents doing yoga or T’ai Chi, or participating in a fitness program based on dance or mobility. In fact, these and a variety of other health and exercise activities are a regular part of daily “Engage Life” programming at Atria.
Popular programs like “Kind and Gentle Yoga,” T’ai Chi, “Movement for Life” and “Dance for Health” are all presented by skilled professionals who specialize in geriatric exercise. In addition, twice-weekly sessions of “Mobility, Fitness and Fun” are offered by physical therapists from Metropolitan Physical Therapy, Atria’s on-site provider for physical therapy and rehabilitative medicine.
A number of residents have already earned Active Lifestyle Award certificates from the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition in connection with the President’s Challenge national physical fitness initiative, and more are participating every day.
Residents are also presented with knowledge vital to their well-being in Atria’s ongoing “Your Health” series, which regularly features guest speakers offering important information on a variety of subjects, from fall prevention to diet and nutrition, memory loss, balance, diabetes, chiropractic and more.
Many Atria Kew Gardens residents are living proof of the value of remaining physically and mentally active at all stages of life, and Atria’s “Engage Life” program is dedicated to providing them every opportunity for continued good health and happiness.
