Exercise for Senior Living

Use it of lose it! What is good for the body is good for the brain. Without exercise, the heart, lungs, and muscles work less efficiently together. When that happens, the brain gets less of the blood, oxygen and glucose so vital to its functioning. Further lack of physical activity is a risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke, obesity, and high blood pressure, which also have an effect on brain function.

The Franklin United Methodist Community offers an outstanding Wellness Center for our patients and residents to use. It is equipped with appropriate equipment and staffed by a part-time exercise specialist. Regularly scheduled exercise classes are also offered, all free of charge to our customers.
