El Dorado – Yesterday, we visited with the Hamburg Foster Grandparents organization and introduced them to the Mind & Body exercise program, “Ageless Grace<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Ageless Grace<\/strong> is a fitness and wellness program created by Denise Medved<\/strong>. The program consists of\u00a021 simple exercise tools\u00a0designed for all ages and abilities.<\/p>\n

These exercises, based on everyday movements that are natural and organic, focus on the healthy longevity of the body and mind.<\/p>\n

The 21 Tools\u00a0have creative, imaginative names, so they are easy to remember. They are simple to do at home. The movements are designed to be performed seated in a chair, yet they can be done on a bed, standing near or behind a chair, down on the floor, or standing.<\/p>\n

Almost anyone can do them, regardless of most physical conditions.<\/p>\n

Each of the Ageless Grace\u00a0 Tools<\/strong> emphasizes a different anti-aging technique, such as joint mobility, spinal flexibility, right-left brain coordination, kinesthetic learning, cognitive function, systemic health, balance, self-esteem, confidence and playfulness The easy-to-learn Tools promote the \u201cthree Rs\u201d of lifelong comfort and ease\u2014not reading, \u00b4riting and \u00b4arithmetic\u2014but the ability to respond, react and recover efficiently and safely.<\/p>\n

Intentionally nourishing the mind-body connection on a daily basis can help improve health and well-being, reduce stress, keep the brain agile and the body responsive. When body, mind, spirit and emotions are in balance, health and well-being follow. Ageless Grace<\/strong> offers something for each of these dimensions.<\/p>\n

For the mind, there are right- and left-brain movement activities, numbering sequences of physical movements in patterns that play games with the mind; and there are mind-body directives that encourage the brain to consciously choose and direct the movement of the body in either a random or specific sequence.<\/p>\n

For the emotions, there are sounds, words, expressions and \u201cpretend\u201d emotions that are used to inspire, stimulate, and release endorphins, while simultaneously allowing the body to release tension and tightness.<\/p>\n

For the spirit, the movements incorporate imagery, creativity, variety, playfulness, polarities, sound and games, all performed to a wide range of music that encourages self-expression, nourishing the authentic self.<\/p>\n

And finally, for the body, particular attention is paid to: range of motion and optimal function of the 13 major joints of the body; the 20 digits; the relationship of all the parts of the body to the whole; the redevelopment of the ability to move from the floor to standing and back again; the use of sensations such as flexibility, agility, mobility, stability and strength to restore and rejuvenate the body; the mind-body connection; the brain as stimulus for the central nervous system; and improvement of both cognitive and motor function, including balance.<\/p>\n

Practicing the Ageless Grace Tools for just eight to ten minutes a day will help the body function with optimal efficiency, and with comfort and ease throughout your life. It\u2019s never too late to begin Ageless Grace, and it\u2019s never too early to start!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next Ageless Grace program in South Arkansas will be held on Monday, February 12 at the South Arkansas Center on Aging, 106 West Main Street, Suite 310 in El Dorado.\u00a0 To reserve your spot, call 870-881-8969 and for more information on the Ageless Grace program, please visit www.agelessgrace.com.<\/p>\n
