With the beginning of a New Year, many people have made resolutions to exercise more often. Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better.
Traceway Retirement Community in Tupelo recently teamed with the North Mississippi Medical Center’s Wellness Center for a ten week exercise program. 42 residents started the program they called Tracercise. Weekly meetings were held with a certified fitness instructor to help establish a better fitness routine that the residents could alter for their individual needs. Several that finished the program are still meeting every Wednesday for group exercise.
