Phillips Senior Center in Eau Claire, talks with host Lisa Wells of the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Eau Claire County about the positive impact of maintaining physical activity on our bodies and minds. Explore the benefits of getting physically active – which can involve everything from gardening to organized classes – and how to sustain those benefits as we age.
