The steps you take are important. They get you places, connect you with people, and keep you independent.

The fear of falling can be common as we get older. Even if you have never had a fall, the fact that more than 1 in 4 people age 65 or older falls each year, and that every second an older adult in the US has a fall, puts the real risk of falling in your mind.

The fear of falling can lead to a more sedentary life, avoiding activities such as walking, shopping, or taking part in social activities with friends and family. Even moving through your home may present a worry.

The good news is that there are simple ways to prevent falls.

This workshop will focus on promoting and maintaining better balance, coordination, and posture through a series of simple brain and muscle exercises. The goal of ongoing balance training is to teach your brain how to quickly activate the right muscles in your body at the right time to help you keep your balance; to reduce and even prevent falls, and most importantly to relieve the fear and worry of moving around.

Offered at NO COST due to underwriting from St. David’s Foundation AGING WELL Program.

Masks will be worn during class.

4-week workshop OFFERED AT NO COST. ON SITE at Ballet Austin (501 W. 3rd St) beginning July 13, 2021.

For years there have been major health concerns around heart disease and cancer, as well as other serious physical ailments. Today the number one fear around health is losing brain function as we age.

Physical exercise is not only important for your body’s health- it also helps your brain stay sharp!

Research by leading neuroscientists shows that the primary purpose of the brain is to control the movement of the body – and the best exercise for the brain is PHYSICAL exercise. In older adults, regular physical activity helps slow the usual loss of brain volume, which may help to prevent age-related memory loss and possibly lower the risk of dementia. There are clear differences in brain health in older adults who get regular exercise, compared with those who are more sedentary. These differences have consequences for thinking and reasoning as well as for memory.

This 4-week workshop includes simple movement exercises that will challenge both your body and your brain and make you smile…even laugh while doing it!

A great workshop whether you are an elite athlete or a couch potato! Everyone benefits from a body & brain boost!

Instructor: Vicki Parsons, Ballet Austin’s Butler Center for Dance & Fitness Director and Certified Brain Health Trainer and member of the Functional Aging Institute.

Explore East Austin heritage on the run with taco stops along the way

City Running Tours & Saucony present a fun and filling East Austin Taco Run!

Let CRT and Swift Fit Events take you on a trek through Austin’s east side neighborhoods and educate you on its cultural heritage, new and old.

THE ROUTE (4.5 miles): We start by running past Austin’s oldest city-owned cemetery through the ever-so-changing streets of the Chestnut neighborhood, home to Edgar Rico and Sarah Mardanbigi’s 12th Street Nixta Taqueria, where we will be making our first stop for some famous Rico Tacos.

Then we’ll jog through Central East Austin’s Boggy Creek Trail, a gorgeous shaded greenbelt patch, as we head to our second stop and say hello to our homies at Discada, Xose and Tony. Try their street corn it’s ballin’.

Then go back north to Cuantos Tacos specializing in Mexico City’s Suadero Street Tacos, and find out how Beto has cornered this style of cuisine in Austin.
