Beach Walking Added to Maravilla’s Robust Fitness Calendar
09-7-2018

At Maravilla in Santa Barbara, Calif., residents have over 15 opportunities for fitness each week. The active retirement community’s fitness instructor motivates residents to be active and engaged whether they are a lifelong fitness enthusiast or just beginning a healthier lifestyle.

For residents who prefer the great outdoors, a weekly Beach Walk is perfect for taking advantage of California’s near-perfect weather. Curbside transportation is provided to nearby Hendry’s Beach and residents spend 45 minutes walking along the shore.

In addition to reaping the many benefits of walking such as reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, they strengthen their muscle by walking in the sand. Beach walking also serves as a natural exfoliate for one’s feet.

The Beach Walk isn’t the only exercise that water-lovers can enjoy. Residents will spend the morning kayaking in the Santa Barbara Harbor on September 26. Kayaking has been found to be one of the best recreational activities for seniors because it is low impact and easy to learn.

Maravilla offers independent and assisted living lifestyles as well as award-winning memory care services. Please call 805-308-9585 for more information.
