Active aging is the new buzz word. Instead of focusing on anti-aging, people are focusing on active aging, also known as

pro-aging. And guess what? Aging begins the moment we are born with visible signs beginning as early as our mid-30s. One of the most effec-tive, inexpensive and pain-free ways to look and feel years younger is

right in front of us: It is EXERCISE!

IT’S ALL ABOUT WALKING Walking may be the simplest way to work out and to boost your outlook

on life. You can do it almost anywhere, and it’s a snap to get started: Just put one foot in front of the other. There are many great reasons to walk.

of the kettle bells. Fee:$10. Thursday, July 28, 10:30 AM.
