Use Your Noodle!

Exercise is an important part to every ones quality of life, no matter your age.  Meg Ferlin, Juniper Village's Connections Director, leads our residents in a new type of exercise, that has really got the residents excited! Every Monday morning, Meg instructs her very own, "noodle" exercise.  Meg teaches water aquatic exercise and has incorporated what she teaches in the water...to an exercise class on dry land! Set to Hawaiian music, the noodle exercise is not only relaxing, but improves range of motion and circulation.  Stop in each and every Monday morning at 10am and make your own splash for the day!

Staying Hydrated

Staying hydrated daily is very important, especially in the warm summer months. Juniper Village welcomed Kelsey Ferlin - a  Pre Med student at the University of Pittsburgh, who is volunteering this summer at the Shenango Inn.  Kelsey is helping to educate the residents on important topics valuable to seniors.  This month she brought us knowledge on staying hydrated.  It is important to drink 1/2 cup a water every 15 minutes, a fact that no one that attended knew!  Most of us only drink water to take medication, but this is not enough! Eight to ten glasses a day is recommended.  So drink up and stay hydrated!
