Embracing the Power of Exercise |

Study after study shows that physical activity not only improves fitness; it's also important for mental and emotional well-being, particularly as we get older. It can reduce stress and improve mood and memory.

This spring the North York Central Library is partnering with the Toronto Council on Aging to present Boomers and Beyond: the Power of Positive Aging.

The first event in this series will be held on Wednesday May 8 at 2:00 pm in the Auditorium. Registered nurse and older adult fitness specialist Toni Johnston's workshop is entitled The Power of Physical Activity: live your best life. Learn about the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines. Get tips about how to start, and stay with, an exercise routine. Toni Johnston will provide the encouragement, guidance and precautions you need to embark on a fitness program.

Becoming more physically active is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. It allows you to live your best life.
