My Granddaughter asked me if there was a grandparents day’s that made<br />
me look it up and this the answer to my granddaughter Olivia.<br />
Has anybody ever heard of Grandparents’ day before? Didn’t think so.<br />
Unlike Mother’s Day, and Father’s day, Grandparents’ day passes by<br />
relatively uncelebrated in Canada. The impetus for a National<br />
Grandparents Day originated with Marian McQuade, a housewife in<br />
Fayette County, West Virginia, USA. Her motivation was to champion the<br />
cause of lonely elderly and encourage younger generations to seek<br />
guidance from previous generations. It started in Canada in 1995. second<br />
Sunday in September and was discontinued 2014. by the house of<br />
commons.<br />
For grandparents, this day is even more of an excuse to get the whole<br />
family together and enjoy some quality time. Looking through old family<br />
albums and playing games with little ones or going to the park for a picnic<br />
can be a great way to create lasting memories.<br />
For grandchildren, Grandparents’ Day is a great opportunity to make a<br />
special hand-made card for that special grandparent, or choose a special<br />
gift. Online retailer, Chums have recently started promoting Grandparents<br />
day with a really fun info graphic offering ideas on how to celebrate.<br />
One of their gift suggestions is gardening gear which would perfect for<br />
starting your own allotment; a great way to keep active and grow your<br />
own vegetables at the same time!<br />
Whether you are a proud grandparent, expectant a grandparent or simply<br />
the friend of a grandparent, it’s easy to appreciate the importance of this<br />
coveted family role. For some, providing emergency care solutions to<br />
busy parents is the primary function. For others, simply spoiling grandchildren<br />
on the odd occasion is the only responsibility. Both are equally<br />
important, and are well worth celebrating!

itness<br />
So, you’re 55, or maybe 65, 75, or even 85. You already know<br />
all the benefits of exercise, and you’ve tried — you have really<br />
tried — to be active. You take a daily walk once a week when<br />
it’s not raining, but you know that’s not really enough.<br />
Friends, relatives, and your doctor — they all say, “Get some<br />
exercise!”<br />
So, a little while back, I tried a class. I tried several. Different<br />
instructors even. But there is one small problem: I hated it! A lot of<br />
exercise classes are far from ideal for older adults (even when they’re<br />
supposedly for older adults!).<br />
What to do? Chances are, I stop going…or I will soon. may not able to<br />
say why I hate that class, but it’s likely that when you read through this<br />
list, you’ll see yourself at least once!<br />
You can’t stand that mirror! You think you’re too thin, too fat, too old,<br />
too tall, too short, too wrinkly. Why do they have those mirrors in the<br />
room? Who wants to look at themselves for an entire hour? Scary<br />
thought! And a good reason not to go, you tell yourself.<br />
You’re intimidated: With teenagers, we call it peer pressure. But don’t<br />
kid yourself. Older adults are also intimidated by class participants (or<br />
even the instructor) who appear to be exceptionally fit and exercisesavvy.<br />
A newcomer — you — can feel totally alienated.<br />
You’re sure you will fail: You’re amazed at what other people can do!<br />
You feel pressured and out-of-sync with everyone else in the class.<br />
When the instructor shouts out the commands, you‘re three steps behind<br />
and going in the wrong direction. After class you‘re exhausted. I can’t go<br />
back, you tell yourself. I‘ll never be able to do it like the others.<br />
You can’t find the time to go regularly so every class feels like the first<br />
visit: Finding two or three hours a week to exercise doesn’t seem like a<br />
problem, but if you don’t enjoy going, it is easy to schedule a conflicting<br />
appointment. The fitness class will most assuredly become the last on<br />
the list of your priorities. When you do go, you feel like the new kid on<br />
the block every single time.
morning as I walked into my fitness class and handed my instructor my<br />
ticket, saying, Here I am. Do your magic.” At the end of the class, I told<br />
my mood had improved 100%. I know this can happen because I have
7 Reasons why I stick to exercise<br />
Reason #1: Exercise will extend years of active independent life<br />
Reason #2: Exercise does not have to be hard, fast, and pounding to reap<br />
rewards<br />
Reason #3: You must use it or you will lose it<br />
Reason #4: Exercise may prevent a bad fall<br />
Reason #5: Exercise will improve your health (even with serious<br />
conditions)<br />
Reason #6: Exercise may improve your mood or lessen your need for<br />
medication<br />
Reason #7: The benefits of exercise are the same for both men and<br />
women<br />
Conclusion<br />
You know why you don’t go to class, but you know you should. To<br />
resolve the paradox, you must find a class that’s right for you. At the very<br />
least, make sure your class has these three elements:<br />
1. It should be designed for older adults with an instructor who is<br />
trained to teach them.<br />
2. It should include low-impact aerobics, strength and balance<br />
training, and flexibility.<br />
3. Be sure it’s a safe, clean, friendly environment that you enjoy,<br />
including the music.<br />
It’s really fun once you get acclimated. But until you know the<br />
equipment and the basics, you may need a guide. You may want a<br />
personal trainer to demonstrate the exercises and equipment and take<br />
you through a routine. Will you always need a trainer? Not unless you<br />
choose to have one. Their services can be expensive. Still, I’ve met<br />
people who say they simply won’t exercise without a trainer to nudge<br />
them along. Most people get along just fine.<br />
My advice is this: Once you have developed a good degree of fitness,<br />
remain consistent with your training. Some form of interval training<br />
may serve you well. But above all, be reasonable and realistic. That<br />
means as you get up in years, speak with your doctor before taking on<br />
high intensity interval training.
