Finding the right exercise routine for your body can be a challenge, too. Balance, strength, endurance, and flexibility are key components to a good exercise program. Dealing with balance issues, osteoarthritis and knee and hip issues can make exercising difficult. A solution may be right down the hall… Water Aerobics. Here are five good reasons to join the water aerobics classes:

1. Low impact: Water places an upward force on a person. This principle known as Advanced Water Aerobics ‘buoyancy’ means that you can experience as much as 90 percent less weight when in the Monday & Wednesday water. This makes water exercises an ideal activity for a low impact water workout. Water 8:30 am-9:30 am in the Pool aerobics allows you to perform exercises while placing very little weight on the joints opening up a new opportunity for people of all ages, and varying levels of fitness. (One of the ladies in Exercise in the PAC our classes was in terrible back pain and now is recovered thanks to water aerobics.) Monday, Wednesday & Friday 9:30 am in the PAC 2. Improves physical and mental health: The natural resistance of water increases strength while keeping you cool and comfortable. Just 150 minutes of a pool workout Tai Chi per week can help decrease your risk of chronic illness, according to the Centers for Disease Monday Control and Prevention. Water aerobics can improve your cardiovascular and respiratory 2:00 pm in the PAC system in the same ways as cycling or running. Water is about 800 times denser than air, so it provides about 12 times more resistance. That means the moves you do in the pool can work Yoga Stretch your entire body, particularly your arms, legs, shoulders, and core. (Two of the gentlemen in Wednesday the Men’s Only Class were faced with shoulder issues that the doctor wanted to do surgery to 10:30 am in the PAC repair. They both now have almost full range of motion in their shoulder that they contribute to water aerobics.) Men’s Only Water Aerobics Tuesday & Thursday 3. Boost confidence: Pool exercise can boost your confidence if you are intimidated 8:30 am - 9:15 am in the Pool by conventional exercise routines. In the water, you are mostly submerged, so no one can see if you get the moves wrong. If you are a beginner, you can build a level of fitness that you can Arthritis Foundation then carry over to feel more confident when exercising on land. Water Aerobics Tuesday & Thursday Water is naturally supportive. If you lose your footing on land, gravity will take over and you 9:30 am - 10:15 am in the Pool will most likely fall and injure yourself. In water there is no need to worry about falling, water will not allow you to, and it will support you throughout all your exercises. Arthritis Foundation Sit/Stand Class 4. Increase calorie burn: Water also has greater resistance than air, which means Tuesday & Thursday walking in water requires more effort and ultimately burns more calories than walking on land. 11:00 am - 11:45 am in the PAC Expect to burn between 400 and 500 calories per hour in a water aerobics class, according to the Aquatic Exercise Association.

5. It’s a FUN way to exercise: Being in a pool is always splashy fun. Participating WALK WITH EASE in a water aerobics class not only makes you happier and healthier, it is also a great social If you have enjoyed the Walk Across experience where new friends are made. The forgiving water environment is effective for America Program or are interested exercising and enjoyable. You won’t get your hair or face wet. People are friendly (I love in walking, Walk with Ease begins watching the big smile on Jane Kinney’s face as she exercises with us). March 13 and runs through May Check our schedule for classes Monday through Thursday and the pool is open form 7am-7pm 10. The class meets Tuesdays & for water walking. Thursdays at 1:30 pm in the Arts & Crafts Room. Each meeting will begin with a pre-walk discussion, followed by a 10 minute or more walk which includes a warm-up, cool-down and stretches. For newcomers, this is a great way to meet your neighbors and learn your way around. Sign up in the Oasis or the office of Life Enhancement.

• 4 • The Pinecone | March 2018 The Importance of NUTRITION

Advanced Water Aerobics Monday & Wednesday 8:30 am-9:30 am in the Pool Exercise in the PAC Monday, Wednesday & Friday 9:30 am in the PAC Tai Chi Monday Please join us March 21st at 1:30 pm in the PAC 2:00 pm in the PAC for our Smart Moves presentation on this topic. Yoga Stretch Wednesday Eating a well-balanced mix of foods every day has many health benefits. Eating well may reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 10:30 am in the PAC diabetes, bone loss, some kinds of cancer, and anemia. If you have one or more of these chronic diseases, eating well and being physically Men’s Only Water Aerobics active may help you better manage them. Healthy eating may also help you reduce high blood pressure, lower high cholesterol, and manage Tuesday & Thursday diabetes. Eating well gives you the nutrients needed to keep your muscles, bones, organs, and other parts of your body healthy throughout 8:30 am - 9:15 am in the Pool your life. Eating well helps keep up your energy level by consuming enough calories. In order to get energy from food, the number of calories needed depends on how old you are, whether you’re a man or woman, your height and weight, and how active you are. Arthritis Foundation Water Aerobics Eating well is important for everyone at all ages. Your daily food choices can make an important difference in your health, how you Tuesday & Thursday look, and feel. Older adults should choose foods rich in fiber; drink 8 glasses of water and other beverages that are low in added sugars. 9:30 am - 10:15 am in the Pool Carbohydrates are one of the main types of nutrients. They are the most important source of energy for your body. Your digestive system Arthritis Foundation changes carbohydrates into glucose (blood sugar). Your body uses this sugar for energy for your cells, tissues and organs. It stores any extra Sit/Stand Class sugar in your liver and muscles for when it is needed. Tuesday & Thursday 11:00 am - 11:45 am in the PAC We often think of fats as unhealthy, but your body needs a limited amount of certain kinds of fats. Fats give you energy and also help your body absorb vitamins. However, fat contains more than twice as many calories as protein or carbohydrates. Eating too many high-fat foods will add extra calories and lead to weight gain. Excess weight increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or other health WALK WITH EASE problems. Excess weight can also make it harder to control these diseases if you have them.

Eating is one of life’s pleasures, but some people lose interest in eating as they get older. They may find that food no longer tastes good or don’t enjoy meals because they often eat alone. Others may have problems chewing or digesting the food they eat. If you don’t feel like eating because of problems with chewing, digestion, or gas, talk with your doctor or a dietitian. Avoiding some foods could mean you miss out on necessary vitamins, minerals, fiber, or protein. Not eating enough could mean that you don’t consume enough nutrients or calories. One reason people lose interest in eating is that their sense of taste and smell change with age. Foods you once enjoyed might seem to have less flavor when you get older. Some medicines can change your sense of taste or make you feel less hungry. Talk with your doctor if you have no appetite, or if you find that food tastes bad or has no flavor.

The Pinecone | March 2018 • 7 • About the Book Brother Lawrence entered the monastic order in 1642 believing that he was giving up this world’s happiness to become a monk, but there discovered a much deeper happiness than he had ever imagined. One day when he was praying and reflecting on the dramatic turn of events in his life, he shouted out, “God, You have outwitted me!” This simple phrase has become both banner and battlecry for Maxie Dunnam, as well. It’s his testimony; God has outwitted him over and over again. In this memoir, Dunnam considers his life, not as a detailed rehearsal of people, places, and events, but rather as a reflection on the events and circumstances that have shaped him into the teacher and preacher he has become. About the Author Maxie D. Dunnam is the former president and chancellor of Asbury Theological Seminary. He is now Senior Pastor Emeritus and Executive Director of CCGlobal at Christ United Methodist Church in Memphis. Dr. Dunnam is a powerful and prolific writer, having authored more than forty books, including the Workbook of Living Prayer, which sold more than one million copies. We are proud to say, he and his wife Jerry have chosen Kirby Pines as their home.
