We age every day. Some of us more gracefully than others. In her 20+ years as a generational scholar, Judith Tavano has studied generations from all angles and in a variety of settings. Though each generation is unique in its ex- periences, expectations, and behaviors, we all have one thing in common. We are all ag- ing. Let's come together and look at current research on what's good about aging, what's not so good, what we can change, and what we can't. Let's look backwards and forwards and together, laugh, sigh, and keep on kee- pin' on.

Regrettably, exercise is good for us, but how do we integrate physical activity into everyday life and routine? These questions will be answered in a hands-on class with Drs. Matt Ganio and Erin Howie Hickey, Professors of Exer- cise Science. Learn how moderate exercise can improve the quality of your life. You do need to be able to do light physical activity safely as there will be some basic physical assessments and working through some basic exercises. There will also be goals and principles set for an individual exercise prescription, along with lots of education on the whys and wherefores. This is NOT a personal training class where you grit your teeth and sweat, but an empowerment to become physically active and enjoy it!
