(Physical Activity) Audience Participation of Ageless
Grace® Brain Health Fitness:
Experience Ageless
Grace® Brain Health Fitness by taking part in a demo
class. Ageless Grace® Brain Health Fitness, a brain-
bodyprogrambasedonstimulationof neuroplasticity
to support cognitive health and activate all five
primary functions of the brain.
The programuses 21 physical “games” called “tools”
that are based on the cutting-edge concept of
neuroplasticity - the ability of the brain to change
structurally and functionally.
The Benefits of Ageless Grace® Brain Health
Fitness:
Each tool addresses a primary factor
commonly related to physical aging. All the tools
stimulate and utilize the five functions of the
brain - Strategic Planning, Memory and Recall,
Analytical Thinking, Creativity and Imagination
and Kinaesthetic Learning.
From birth through mid-teens, the brain is busy
creatinga complexwebof neural pathways, however
functional and cognitive skills that were developed
through traditional childhood games, sports and
leisure activities are typically no longer explored in
adulthood when we tend to practice only what we
like to do and what we do best. Ageless Grace® Brain
Health restores and maintains neural pathways
and stimulates the creation of new ones. The tools
activate the core of the body, including the internal
organs and systems, such as the Respiratory System,
Endocrine System, and Digestive System, also
Mindfulness and Breathing Relaxation Techniques.
The program is practiced in a chair, to cause the
brain to figure out how to do these activities seated
rather than standing. Performing the tools in a chair
works the core, also affects physical skills, such as
balance, stability, range of motion, etc. People of all
ages and abilities (including children) can perform
the movements, including those with weight and
joint issues, diabetes and other challenges such as
those in wheelchairs etc.
