Health Opportunities at St. John’s

Let’s do the math. There are 1440 minutes in a day. Experts say we only need to exercise for 30 of those minutes. So why is it so hard to get motivated? Review the list below (I know, you’ve heard these before but they still hold true). Physical activity can:

• Lower your blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
• Reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke.
• Relieve stress.
• Strengthen your heart, muscles, and bones.
• Help insulin work better.
• Help with losing, and keeping off, weight.
• Keep your joints flexible.

St. John’s offers a variety of different classes. Over the next three months the classes will include Yoga for people with bad backs, Pilates, balance and aerobic classes.
