Cedars of Chapel Hill
Tell us what you did during Active Aging Week to redefine the term "Active."
During Active Aging Week, The Cedars of Chapel Hill held a "Stand Tall" posture clinic, a "Nutrition Needs: How They Change Throughout Adulthood " lecture, a "Harvest Your Health" health fair and a "Boxing for the Body and Brain boxing demonstration. Our coach, a Golden Gloves Champion, discussed the physical and cognitive benefits of boxing training and how it is used as a form of therapy for Parkinson's Disease. Several of our Members enjoyed putting on the gloves and working out while standing or sitting. As a result of the demo's success, we will be adding a shadowboxing class to our fitness schedule.
