Exercise of the Month 1. Face a corner where 2 walls come together 2. Stand 2ft away from the wall with feet together and toes forward 3. Lean towards the wall with your arms at a 90 degree angle at the elbow, elbows lower than the shoulders, and your palms and forearms flat against the wall 4. Breathe normally and maintain stretch for 10-30 seconds 5. Repeat the stretch for the desired amount of reps * To decrease the intensity of the stretch step forward placing your feet in a staggered position Answer: Yes. Flexibility is an important component to any exercise regimen and goes hand-in-hand with strengthening. Research supports strengthening our muscles to aid in the prevention of osteopenia and to delay the progression of sarcopenia (muscle loss). To strengthen our muscles properly, we must have full range of motion around a joint. Full range of motion can be achieved by including a stretching routine in your programming. Although research has not provided us with conclusive optimal stretching protocols, it does note that holding static stretches for longer periods of time provides better results. I recommend introducing static stretching to your work out after you have warmed up the muscles in that area. Exercise increases tension in the muscles which can lead to decreased range of motion. Stretching will alleviate tension and help the muscle return to full length. A static stretch should be held for 30 to 60 seconds. During this time, it is important that you achieve a stretch that is uncomfortable but not painful. It is imperative you relax into the stretch to allow your brain to send a message to your muscle that it is safe. Otherwise your body may fight the stretch and increased flexibility will not be achieved. The more you stretch, the sooner and more likely you will see increases in your flexibility. It is safe and preferable to stretch every day, however increased flexibility can still be achieved by only stretching 3 times a week.

Sign up in the trip book today to join us for this afternoon filled with exercise and fun! Join us on Thursday, June 16 at 9:30 a.m. in the Card Room to hear about “How to Stay Active Outdoors and How to Stay Hydrated.” With Summer here, it is important to stay hydrated. If you are looking for tips on staying active during the Hot Summer Days, this is the coffee talk for you!!! Member Spotlight: MaryEmily Davisson How long have you been a member of the Wellness Center? I have been a member of the Wellness Center ever since it opened. What was the motivating facto that compelled you to join the WC? Or was there a person? No one influenced me to join. I have always tried to stay healthy and I used to walk a mile each morning before school. When I lost my ability to walk, the WC seemed like a good place to exercise. What has been your favorite part about the WC? The chair class has been one of my favorite activities. I have also enjoyed using the NuStep to keep my legs active. As I have gotten older, I find that I get too tired if I do too much. I usually can’t do both. I have also enjoyed some of the special themes and activities. Codie Monhollen (317) 865-4691 How does WC support your health? WC has helped broaden my concept of good. The eight dimensions of wellness have given me a new understanding of what wellness really is. And because of this, I try to incorporate each into my daily life. What do you do in your spare time? In my spare time I crochet, read, work puzzles, recently I started helping the Pavilion with Bingo. Also, I have lived in the Village for 13 years and I feel that the Wellness Center has been the most important addition to the village. A few years ago when we had a “talent” show, I formed a kazoo band. There were 14 of us that made up the troop. We had kazoos shaped like trumpets, trombones, French horns, and plain ones. We all dressed up like Hillbillies and had a great time! [email protected] 60 Day Challenge!!! Greenwood Village South Residents and Staff, We’re excited to announce an upcoming exercise challenge! During 60 days in the months of May through July Greenwood Village South will participate in an exercise challenge along with other LCS communities across the country. Our goal is to achieve the highest amount of exercise time through a variety of exercise options. Whether it’s walking outside, using a treadmill, resistance training or biking, all these options will count toward our grand total. Both residents and staff at our community will be taking part in this challenge. This exercise challenge was inspired as a way to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s disease. Part of the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association is to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Exercise and physical activity are certainly ways to make our brains healthier. Furthermore, LCS, our management company, is a strong supporter of the Alzheimer’s Association and the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. If you are interested in participating, registration is easy! Simply contact Codie Monhollen at (317) 865-4691 or go to the Wellness Center. You will then be given tracking sheets and a pedometer that can help you track your exercise time. You will keep track of your exercise time from May 27 - July 25. You can turn in your sheets every Friday to Codie Monhollen. We will keep you updated on how our team is doing with our exercise time totals and where we stand with the others. Also, the top two residents with the most time will receive a mystery prize!!! Additionally, this is also a competition among residents and employees on who can accumulate the most hours of exercise. We look forward to having you take part is this great program! Featured Resident of the Month Ann Wathen Ann Wathen was born and raised in Evansville. I intended to become a commercial artist. However, when I started Ursuline College in Louisville, the Dean of Women said to me, "Women can't make it in that field. Be a teacher." So, I did for 39 years. The last 14 were in a men's State Penitentiary in Maryland, an interesting but frustrating job. After retiring in 2000, I went back to art. Teaching painting classes part time at Michael's in Maryland was fun. A real contrast to trying to get prisoners to learn their times tables. Thanksgiving 2002 I moved to GVS, I have found people to be friendly, talented, and interesting. I am glad I am here. WELLNESS ED RANDY OLLIS Tuesday, June 14 at 2:00 p.m. in the Meeting Room.
