How much water should I be drinking?

Half of your body weight in ounces each day. For

example if you weigh 150lbs, then your daily water

goal would be 70 ounces. Not sure what you weigh?

Stop by and find out! We have a scale located in the

Summit Room next to the office.

Signs of dehydration

Dehydration, meaning not enough water, can

show itself in many different ways. Knowing

the signs of dehydration can help keep you

from serious harm, especially in the warmer

months of the year!

Mild to moderate dehydration can

manifest as:

• Increased thirst.

• Dry mouth.

• Tired or sleepy.

• Decreased urine output.

• Urine is low volume and

more yellowish than normal.

• Headache.

• Dry skin. • Dizziness.

If you pass a vibrant, gleeful lady who always

wears a smile on her face, you probably have just

seen Marlene Abrams.

Marlene is a jubilant, friendly sort of person who

is always willing to help. However, her beginning

was meager. Born premature, she was a mere 3

pounds. She grew up in Mishawaka, Indiana, the

oldest of three children. Her favorite childhood

memories are of visiting relatives in New York.

Special memories involve the Catskills, especially

when she would sneak into a posh hotel’s

swimming pool for the day.

She went to Indiana University to study

elementary education. She worked as a teacher

at a local Synagogue where the principal, Mr.

Abrams, took notice of her. It may have seemed

that they married quickly, she only being twenty,

but they had so much in common. They were

both interested in social justice. Gene Abrams

started a food bank in their synagogue which she

helped him run for years while she also

volunteered at a homeless shelter and at a voting

precinct.

The couple also loved to travel to historic sites

such as civil war battle sites or presidential

homes. The favorite presidential home she

visited was Harry Truman’s home in Missouri.

She and her husband instilled social values and

work ethic to all four children. Marlene has a

continuing interest in politics. She currently

co–chairs the political discussion group. She

has also participated in the “read to Me Program”

for Kindergarten children. I guess you could still

call her a professional volunteer.

What’s up at Courtyard! Food Pantry Sunday, August 12th to Friday, August 17th

We are collecting nonperishable foods for the Food Pantry at which Sharon Ewers volunteers. We are focusing on foods kids can make and take to school and kid cereals. The patrons of the food bank loved the jam and jelly and the jars went flying off the shelves (one per family so everyone got a little bit). Jam and jellies would again be a welcome donation. Thank you to everyone who has donated in the past.

PLEASE KEEP THIS COPY TO REFERENCE ALL AUGUST CLASSES

Move and feel better.

Class Descriptions:

Aerobic Thursdays (30 minutes): With the support of a chair, we will work on your heart health with Aerobics! Using

both seated and standing movements we will work on elevating your heart rate in intervals while toning up the body. 2

levels of this class will be available. Level 2 at 9A.M. will be more advanced and use more dynamic movements, while

Level 1 at 10A.M. will be mostly seated holding a slower pace.

Balance & Coordination (45 minutes): Balance & Coordination class focuses on increasing participants core strength,

balance, range of motion, flexibility, and coordination. This class focuses on bodyweight movements to you to feel how

your body is working for you. Two levels of this class are available. Level 2 at 9 A.M. on TUESDAY will be more

advanced, and Level 1 at 10 A.M. on WEDNESDAY will involve more seated work and have a stronger focus on

stability. Both classes will have a balance portion.

Beanbag Baseball (60 minutes) : If you like light-hearted competition, this is the game for you. The game is played by

pitching bean bags into the holes of a board which indicates which you attained. There are 2 teams and the scoring is

like baseball. This game is great for balance and hand/eye coordination.

Chair Yoga (45 minutes) : With the support of a chair, enjoy yoga poses and positions while increasing your overall

balance and muscle tone and breath support. Strengthen your body and relax your mind.

Courtyard Rockettes—Seated Tap Dance (45 minutes): The Summit room studio will host this seated tap

dancing class open to beginners and experienced tap dancers. The first half of the class focuses on tap

technique exercises while the second half combines moves to create a tap routine.

Firm & Tone (45 minutes): Firm & Tone is for the active adult who wants to increase muscle tone and work on

cardiovascular health. This class is designed to increase the participants cardiovascular endurance,

coordination, muscular strength, and joint stability. Equipment used for this class will vary and may include hand held

weights, elastic bands, or balls for the resistance portions of this class. Two levels of this class are available. Level 2 at

9 A.M. will be advanced with more dynamic movements, while Level 1 at 10 A.M. will involve more seated work and

have a stronger focus on stability. **On Fridays we will incorporate a balance portion in both levels of this class.

Fitness with Michele (45 minutes): This class will be more of a sit-ercise style class with a combination of flexibility,

balance and chair aerobics. Be ready for upbeat tunes and a fun time!

Park Walks (Every Wednesday at 10:30am): Want to get some fresh air and stretch your legs? Every Wednesday at

10:00am we will choose a park in which to walk. Each park will have paved walking paths and places to sit. This outing

is for all levels of walkers. Some people enjoy walking to the first bench they see and take in the sights, others go as

fast as they can, and the rest of us just go our own pace.

Sit & Be Fit Fitness Video (30 minutes): A fitness video will be playing in the Summit room that will guide

participants through seated total body workout.

Tai Chi (40 minutes): This class may be done seated or standing. Although Tai Chi is slow and gentle and doesn’t

leave you breathless, it addresses the key components of fitness - muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and, to a lesser

degree, aerobic conditioning.
