Summer is a great time to get outside and get active. Whether you enjoy gardening, picnics, bike rides or just basking in the sun, there are so many opportunities for you to make the most of this summer. A great way you can stay active this summer is by heading outdoors and taking part in some exciting activities and programs happening in and around the Syracuse, New York area.
Importance of Staying Active for Seniors
There are so many great activities in and around the Syracuse area for you to engage in this summer. Staying fit and active is imperative to living a healthy lifestyle. When you regularly challenge your body with range of motion and flexibility exercises, you build muscles around your joints and help reduce the risk of onset diseases.
Being active can also help you to maintain a healthy weight, which will reduce the amount of pressure that’s placed on your joints. Moderate exercise can also aid in keeping your body in shape, your mind sharp and your mood positive.
