One of the most effective ways to care for your brain is through regular physical activity.

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of protecting brain health and supporting those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Regular exercise increases blood flow to the brain and may help lower the risk of cognitive decline, making it an important part of healthy aging.

Our fitness programs make it easy and enjoyable to stay active while supporting memory, mood, and overall well-being.

Explore our fitness & swim schedules to find a class that keeps your body and mind strong all month long. View programs here: www.bendparksandrec.org/fitness-swim/
