Exercise your brain!
The University of Illinois Macomb Extension Office is hosting Wits Fitness at the YMCA of McDonough County Senior Center, 400 E. Calhoun St., Macomb, from 12:30-1:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 18, March 28 and April 1. Extension Educator Tessa Hobbs-Curley will lead participants through interactive activities designed to exercise the brain to not only maintain, but to enhance, memory and cognitive function.
'You're never too old to train your brain,' Hobbs-Curley added. 'There is increasing evidence that brain health is directly related to body health; however, most people think more about keeping their bodies fit or their hearts healthy than working at maintaining a healthy brain.'
Wits Fitness, also known as Wits Workout, promotes cognitive health through puzzles, discussion and social engagement.
To register for the free in-person classes, call the YMCA at (309) 837-5733.
