It is rather common knowledge that protection your skin from the sun will help prevent early signs of ageing. But what if you are already an older adult? It is still important to protect your skin. "People in their 60s may not be as concerned about protecting their skin as people in their 20s and 30s, but that doesn’t mean that older adults should stop wearing sunscreen and worrying about sun damage." Our skin is vulnerable to the sun and this vulnerability persists as we age - making our skin even more at risk for skin cancers.
Check out the link below for some helpful tips and tricks to protecting your skin from the sun and its potentially harmful UV rays. Don't forget to apply sunscreen while outside, wear a hat, and seek out shade when necessary. |
50 Hours Challenge UPDATE!
Did you know that 50 hours of standing exercise can prevent one fall?
As some of you may remember we started off our 50 Class Challenge on November 1st 2018 and despite all the cancelled classes in January and February due to weather and illness (outbreaks in Retirement Homes) we have already had two people complete the challenge.
Both Molly VanRoon and Doris Ouellel have participated in over 50 SMART classes since November 1st. These two ladies participate in 5-7 SMART exercises weekly and although they were both very happy to receive their 50 SMART Class Certificate and their prize they have stated that the competition was fun but not the reason they participate in so many classes. Molly and Doris both stated that the exercise classes are a great social outing where they get to reap the physical benefits. Both of these ladies want to age well and know the best way to do that is to exercise. Hence they will continue with their regular exercise regime with their prize being feeling great at the end of classes. Congratulation ladies!
Is anyone else close to completing their first 50 SMART exercise classes?
