MOVEMENT TO SUPPORT YOUR BRAIN AND BODY
Tuesday, June 25 from 12 - 12:30 PM

Studies have shown that just 15 mins of movement everyday is more beneficial than 40-60 mins a couple times a week. During this session we will discuss taking the movement you are already doing; at home, at the gym, in the outdoors and incorporating new techniques, fun events or classes to do just a little bit more and not fall off when it feels hard in support of your movement every day before we do some light exercises that you can incorporate daily.
