As the warmth of summer arrives, it’s the perfect time to refresh your routine and embrace the many benefits of regular exercise. Staying active isn’t just about maintaining physical health—it’s about enhancing mental well-being, boosting energy, and fostering social connections.

Engaging in regular physical activity can:

• Enhance Mental Health: Exercise stimulates the release of endorphins, which can reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression, promoting a more positive outlook on life.
• Improve Sleep Quality: Regular activity can decrease the time it takes to fall asleep and promote deeper, more restful sleep.
• Prevent Chronic Diseases: Consistent exercise is one of the most effective ways to lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and certain cancers.
• Maintain Independence: Strengthening muscles and improving flexibility and balance can help you stay active and independent longer.

To support you on your health journey, Oasis has a variety of fitness classes to help you stay active:

• Yoga Dance: A fusion of yoga and dance that promotes flexibility, strength, and mental clarity. This class is offered in-person at Oasis on Mondays and Thursdays.
• Build Better Balance: An online class focusing on strengthening core and leg muscles to improve balance and prevent falls.
• Chair Strength and Balance: An online class designed for those seeking low-impact exercises to build strength and improve balance.

Remember, it’s never too late to start moving—your health and well-being are worth the investment!
