Wednesday Wellness ❄️ | Staying Active All Winter Long
Minnesota winters don’t have to slow you down. Staying active supports strength, balance, mood, and overall wellbeing—especially as we age. Here are 4 simple ways older adults can stay moving during the winter months:
1️⃣ Indoor Movement Matters
Gentle stretching, chair yoga, or light strength exercises indoors help maintain flexibility and reduce stiffness when it’s cold outside.
2️⃣ Walk with Purpose
Take advantage of indoor walking spaces like community halls, fitness rooms, or even laps around your home to keep joints moving and energy up.
3️⃣ Move Together
Group activities—like fitness classes, dance, or wellness programs—add motivation, social connection, and fun to staying active (come check out Sholom events, activities and programs!)
4️⃣ Keep the Mind Active Too
Movement isn’t just physical. Interactive games, music, and engaging activities support cognitive wellness and emotional health during long winter days.
》 Every step, stretch, and shared moment counts toward a healthier winter.
