ANN ARBOR – Jewish Family Services will present their second discussion on LGBT aging at 7 p.m. on Aug. 19 at the Jewish Community Center of Ann Arbor.
"The Role of Exercise As We Age" will feature discussion on the physiological and cognitive changes that can lead to a premature decline in overall function, reaction time and balance.
Britt Michael, BS, CSCS, CME will describe how participating in regular exercise may significantly reduce negative changes in aging adults. Whether interested in remaining functional and independent for as long as possible, reducing fall risks or learning more about exercise, participants will have an intimate discussion on how the benefits of exercise can help improve their quality of life.
