Exercise is critical to maintaining your health and wellbeing. Regular and moderate exercise can provide a variety of health benefits. Check out these 5 ways to be active at The Villas at Dawson Corner to help maintain your motivation and active lifestyle.
Play pickleball
Pickleball is a great way to stay active and improve your reflexes and balance. This racket sport can help with hand-eye coordination, your range of motion and minimize arthritis symptoms that can inhibit you from doing everyday tasks.
Walk the walking trails
Take advantage of the walking trails. Walking daily can elevate your heart rate, which in turn can help reduce the risk of heart problems, strokes and diabetes.
Walking is also a good low-impact way to stretch and reduce any ongoing joint pain. You can even start a walking group to get in your daily socialization as well.
Swim in the pool
One of our favorite ways to be active at The Villas at Dawson Corner is by taking a dip in the swimming pool. In addition to being a fun recreational activity and a nice way to cool off on a hot day, swimming is a great form of exercise.
In fact, swimming is a non-weight-bearing exercise. Meaning that it doesn’t put pressure on your spine, knee or hips. With the water supporting some of your body weight, it can even help alleviate some of the strain in your joints.
Socialize at the clubhouse
Having a healthy social life is directly related to staying active mentally, emotionally and even physically. Being social can help create a more meaningful and purposeful life.
By hanging out at the clubhouse, you can meet new people and create new friendships. You may even meet your new walking group here!
Bike the bike lanes nearby
Looking for a little more extensive activity? Luckily for you, The Villas at Dawson Corner are located just off Wire Road, which has dedicated bike lanes. Biking is another good low-impact, low-stress exercise.
