This three-part virtual series for caregivers is aimed at increasing strength, flexibility, mobility and mindfulness and helping to prevent injury and burnout.
About the Event
Caring for someone with dementia or physical disabilities can take a toll on your health and emotions. AARP Colorado’s three-part Wellness for Caregivers series, led by certified fitness instructor and nutrition counselor Sue Kartheiser, will provide tips and exercises to help caregivers stay strong, mobile and mindful. The goal is to prevent injuries and ease stress that could lead to burnout and disease.
Session Two: Stretching and Mobility will teach you how to do stretching and mobility exercises properly and why they’re important. Our focus will be on incorporating these exercises as appropriate to prevent injury (before and after moving a loved one, for example), on increasing mobility and flexibility, and on easing recovery from the physical tasks required of caregivers. Please consult your physician before beginning any new exercise regimen
