“Fitness is one of the best ways to get through tough times. Movement not only sustains and conditions the body, it also fortifies the mind by relieving pent up stress and anxiety. Moving your body in new ways improves muscle memory, balance, and cognitive recognition,” Terry McNeely, Rec & Ed fitness and yoga program supervisor said in a news release.

“It is a key ingredient to ensuring a person’s longevity. Rec & Ed is committed to offering opportunities to support people on their health journey and continue to build community, especially during the pandemic.”
