In 2023, I resolve to ...

Most of us start the New Year with a resolution to live healthier lives, get more exercise, eat better, maybe even lose a little weight. Good intentions often fall by the wayside because “It’s boring or just not fun!” The National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability has many resources and ideas for fun ways to stay healthy and fit. Relief from arthritis, yoga for children, controlling stress, accessible gardening, ‘deskercise’, easy recipes, and many other great ideas and information are available at www.nchpad.org. And don’t forget, gentle movement in the 92o Kernes Pool is great exercise.

Feel Good
Be Healthy
Have Fun!

You will be amazed how gentle, warm water exercise relieves pain and helps you build strength.

It’s easy to get started in your own personalized program in our beautiful 92˚ indoor pool.

From your first visit, you will be glad you did.

Info Corner

Nothing says comfort like the fragrance of cinnamon-laced goodies coming from the oven. Dating back to Ancient Egypt, cinnamon has been used as a delicious spice.

Cinnamon is also prized for its medicinal properties. Studies have shown that its large amounts of antioxidants provide impressive health. The antioxidants have anti-inflammatory effects and fight ‘free radicals’ associated with multiple illnesses. In addition, cinnamon can positively affect cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure to reduce the risk of heart disease and lower blood sugar levels.
