Community Conversations: Your Body of Work
Eleanor Roosevelt is quoted as saying, “Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.” This hour we will learn the difference between performance-based exercise and fitness-based exercise. As we age, it is vital that we engage in performance-based exercise so we can continue to build power, speed, agility, balance and coordination. Getting up off a chair, for instance, is a POWER move. Fitness and strength are not only important as we age; they are also how we can help ourselves age in place. In partnership with the Tualatin Food Pantry. Presented by Kathleen Sullivan, Ph.D.
