Exercise essential to strong mental, physical health

Bob Williams is an exercise enthusiast. Every day, he finds ways to incorporate exercise into his daily routine.

“Exercise is a big key to longevity,” Bob said. “No one should expect to make it to 100 years old without exercising.”

Bob regularly attends the scheduled exercise activities at Fort Scott Presbyterian Village and does quite a bit on his own. Some key benefits to exercise are improved healing function, increased balance and stability and help with fighting depression. Exercise can build positive mental health.

“Exercise is a great way to socialize and meet new people,” Bob said. “It keeps your mind and body working.”

Bob has recently moved into Presbyterian Village and has been a key motivator to our exercise program, bringing in many great ideas.
