Michele’s Note“Then followed that beautiful

season...Summer...Filled was the airwith a dreamy and magical light;and the landscape lay as if new,created in all the freshness ofchildhood.” - Henry WadsworthLongfellow.

Generally, I am on vacation forthe first week of August with mydaughters. We have traveled allover the country, and we alwaystake a beach vacation at somepoint during the year. Whether itbe in Florida, Maryland,California, North Carolina orCape Cod, we love the ocean andour beach vacations. We havenever missed a beach vacationsince the girls were born. Likeeveryone, I always look forward toour vacations and the time wespend together as a family. I am sofortunate for my time with mydaughters.

This year is different as we arepreparing to send Jenna off tocollege. Now, we did have anamazing vacation in the spring, sowe cannot complain. But I justcould not manage another tripthis summer (although I still mayfit in a few days somewhere localin August). The summer is flyingby, and there are few weekendsleft before we have to drive herto school.

Instead of traveling, we are

having fun shopping andplanning for college. That is morefun for me than Jenna since I loveto shop and she doesn’t, but it iswonderful to see how excited sheis about college. Everything for meis tinged with a bit of sadness.How many more trips will we allbe able to take together assummers become filled with work,internships and travels withfriends? What will happen if shesettles away from Chicago aftergraduation? And...who will Iwatch Game of Thrones withnext year?

I want to slow down time. Iwant to take back ourencouragement to go to school faraway from home. I want to knowthat she will always live near me. Ican’t imagine what it will be likenext year when she is gone andhow much I will miss her everyday. It is a very bittersweet time.

Enjoy the rest of summer. Iwish you days filled withsunshine, joy, love and laughter!

“When I look back now, thatsummer seemed to last forever; and ifI had the choice...yeah, I’d always bethere. Those were the best days ofmy life.”

Physical Activity for Older AdultsMany people decrease their

exercise as they age but continuingto exercise has definite benefits forolder people. Being fit isimportant to everyone. Flexibilityand stretching, which helpprovide a full range of motion formuscles and joints, can help youfunction better. Everyday tasksthat are difficult, such as gettingup, walking, tying shoelaces orreaching to a shelf may becomeeasier. When you stay flexible, youalso keep a more natural walkingpattern and decrease your chanceof falling. Most flexibility that isseemingly lost through aging iscaused not only by aging but alsoby inactivity or lack of movement.Aerobic exercise strengthens theheart and reduces the risk ofcoronary artery disease. It can alsoincrease the amount of sleep youget at night and may reduce thetime it takes to fall asleep.

Strengthening exercises canhelp you maintain your muscle,strengthen bones, and protectknees and other joints. Theseexercises may include, resistancetraining, such as lifting weights,and weight bearing such aswalking, jogging or dancing.

Your physical activity does nothave to be strenuous. Older adultscan gain significant healthbenefits with a moderate amountof physical activity. This can bedone in longer sessions ofmoderately intense activities suchas walking or in shorter sessions

of more vigorous activities such asfast walking or stair walking. Youcan benefit from physical activityeven if you think of yourself aselderly or you already have oldage conditions such asosteoarthritis or heart disease.Being more active may improveyour quality of life and canprevent or delay disability.

It is advisable to talk to yourdoctor before starting a fitnessprogram. You may have healthproblems that limit what youcan do.

At Belmont Village we have aPhysical Fitness Program availablefor all residents with consentsfrom their doctor. The program iscoordinated by a personal trainer.The Sit and Be Fit Exercise groupalso meet Monday through Fridayat the Town Hall. We also haveseveral exercise equipmentavailable at the Center for LifeEnhancement for the residents touse when supervised by a personaltrainer.

From families withpajama-clad children to coupleson a date night, carloads of folkstook in big-screen features fromthe comfort of their ownvehicles—both in them and ontop of them.
