Brain & Body Fitness

"An evidence-informed group exercise program for people living with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias and their care partners."

Each participant will have an individual plan tailored to their specific needs and incorporated into a group exercise format. Exercises are developed through the program coordinator and consultation of the Waushara County Dementia Care Specialist. The following is an outline of what to expect at each exercise group:
1. Informal Health/Safety Assessment
2. Warm-up
3. Flexibility/Stretches
4. Strength Exercises
5. Rest break with linguistic stimulation
6. Aerobic activity with linguistic stimulation 
7. Cool Down and Flexibility

Brain & Body Fitness has been shown to improve physical fitness and mood in people living with dementia. The exercise program is safe, effective, and a fun, social program taught by a trained facilitator.
