THE{FULL}LIFE
The Forum recently highlighted the new construction of two cottages at Touchmark. See the photo at
http://www.inforum.com/event/image/id/374715/headline/Harwood%20Groves%20construction/.
The paper quoted Touchmark Executive Director Kari Dick as saying, “‘We’re starting to see a lot
more seniors looking for other options. A lot of people are ready to let go of the house. They’re ready
to let go of the shoveling and mowing, but they’re not ready to move into an apartment.’” See photos
on page three.

“ ... The scientific
community is also looking
more at the outcomes and
benefits for older adults who
volunteer. The psychosocial
and mental health benefits
have been studied for
several years in regard
to reduced risk factors for depression, loneliness, and isolation. A
newer focus is the physical health benefits. In 2013, Carnegie Mellon
University researchers looked specifically at the relationship between
volunteerism and lower blood pressure. They discovered that as little
as 200 hours of volunteering annually showed a dramatic lowering of
blood pressure. ...”

“I first toured
Touchmark with my
two daughters. I enjoy
the amenities and on-

the community. The

What about metabolism?
Our metabolism starts to slow as we get older. We
also start to lose lean muscle mass, which in turn
affects the metabolic system. How do we ramp up
our slowing metabolism?
Exercise! Regular moderate exercise not only
burns more calories, but it also increases the
amount of lean muscle mass in our bodies. And
that increase in muscle drives our metabolism
to be more efficient before, during, and after
exercise.
Drink water. Eat a balanced diet, and eat
often. Staying hydrated helps with everything
from balancing appetite to making your exercise
more effective. Skipping meals can lead to
overeating, but eating often helps keep your
metabolism up and your body and brain ready to
go.
Strength train. You’ll build more lean muscle
mass. Research is also showing that strength
training is good for the brain.
Join the new Kettlebell class
Kettlebell training incorporates total-body
exercises and requires the use of all major muscle
groups and core stabilization. This intermediate-
level class is 30 minutes and will help increase
strength, endurance, and muscle toning by
focusing on the muscular and cardiovascular
systems. Classes is held in the exercise studio
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:15 pm. Certified
KettleBell Concepts®
Instructor John Hume will
lead the class. There’s no charge for club members.
Space is limited. Sign up at the club front desk.
