Exercise and fitness are more important than ever

Learn from the experts at January “Age Smart” forum

“Age Smart – Let’s Talk,” the series of monthly forums sponsored by AARP Alaska, Older Persons Action Group and the Anchorage Senior Activity Center, returns Jan. 12, 2021, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Events are currently held virtually on the internet, using Zoom.

This month’s presentation focuses on fitness and exercise: Finding and keeping a good exercise routine can be challenging in the best of times and made more confusing now when much of our activity is virtual. Join Anchorage Senior Activity Center fitness instructors Patrick Curtis and Brittney Mitchell for tips on staying active and fit even in small spaces and from home. They will share some great online resources, as well.

The “Age Smart – Let’s Talk” series is a monthly forum that focuses on a topic of interest and importance to Alaskans who want to be thoughtful about how to make good choices as they grow older. The series is developed to provide working age adults with information necessary to plan and fulfill a secure, healthy and satisfying “life After 60” (all ages are welcome). Each month the series highlights a particular topic with a variety of formats, including issue experts, panel discussions, interactive presentations, and plenty of time for questions.

Admission is free and open to everyone. Presentation begins at 6:30.
