The Canning Active for Life class is led by kinesiologist Rowan Duprey . The program is very popular in the eastern Valley.There are two Frans, two Blanches and two fellows in the Active for Life class I’m taking. In all, there are 20 of us who gather twice a week in the new Canning community hall for group exercise.By practising bird dogs, I’ve now learned that this core exercise improves stability and relieves low back pain.
Sessions are also offered in Kentville, Port Williams, New Minas and virtually through the Acadia Centre for Lifestyle Studies. There are a pile of us working to improve our health through aerobics, cardio, balance and stretching activities. Since I don’t have a rambunctious dog to get me out walking anymore, I think being more focused on exercise will help lower stress and improve sleep time. Apparently, adults ought to be doing two and a half to five hours of exercise a week. Getting the old heart pumping is of value.
Duprey plays vintage dance music while we do our aerobic exercises, which makes them more fun. She frequently indicates the class is performing excellently.Duprey has also given us all plastic resistance bands to add oomph to the muscle and bone strengthening exercises. Balance training is another focus. Taking yoga over the years, I have to say definitely helps with stork poses.
Meanwhile I’m going to do my best to be aging actively, fully engaging in all seven dimensions of wellness. They are emotional, environmental, intellectual/cognitive, physical, professional/vocational, social, and spiritual, according to the experts.
