MEET LISA THE NEW BUSINESS OFFICE MANAGERI was born and raised in England so have a funny accent. I worked for a major airline for 14 years in Operations before moving to Colorado. I have lived in Colorado now for 9 years and have 1 son who is in High School. My favorite place to be is by the Ocean having grown up in a small village on the coast of England. I enjoy crafts,

photography and reading. On a day off I like to go with my dog and sit by the Cache Le Poudre River.

MEET KRISTIN THE NEW MARKETING MANAGERI am Northern Colorado born and raised. I graduated from Eaton High School and continued my education at Arizona State University where I graduated with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication. I have over 5 years of marketing experience and recently just moved back from Nashville, TN where I worked for Country Mu-

sic Television. I enjoy live music, the outdoors, hiking and fishing with my dog, Cooper. I got into the health care industry when I lived in Arizona and helped take care of my Grandpa Bud, he’s my best friend and favorite guy. I am excited to be a part of the team here at Garden Square Westlake and look forward to meeting everyone.

Senior FitnessStaying fit and mobile plays a large role in senior health. Naturally, our bodies change, but we don’t want them becoming immobile! Here are some tips to make your senior years more enjoyable and fit.

Continue doing your daily living tasks as much as possible. Taking a bath, even if it’s just a sponge bath, gives your arms a mini-workout. Cooking involves activity through tasks like: peeling vegetables, some walking, and bending to reach pots and pans.

Golfing provides fun: a chance for walking, bending, and maintaining flexibility. If getting out to a golf course isn’t possible for you right now, buy a mini-putting green you can use indoors. Even these will improve your ability to move more freely.

Several times a day, make it a point to stop and work on a flexibility exercise. For instance, stretch your legs while sitting in the recliner. Do five or six mini leg lifts or stretch your arms over your head and hold them there for a count of ten. All activities, even simple ones, increase your ability to move freely and with less pain.

Therapists have some fun ideas on staying fit – simple games you can play with your grand-kids, like batting a balloon back and forth with a plastic racket.

By making a simple choice each day of staying mobile as much as possible, you increase your chances of living a more independent life.
