July 2014
Learning the ins and outs of an iPad
Scott Weissman from the
Interagency Program for Assistive
Technology (IPAT) shared the
basics about iPads during a popular
class. For many, the class was the
first time learning how to use the
tablet. For others, it was a chance
to brush up on their skills.
KXNET featured the class and
interviewed resident Arloene
Laskowski, who uses an iPad
to email and video chat with
her family. To see the video,

how-to-navigate-ipads.
Since the class was so popular, the Full Life team is already putting together another one.

Longtime club member Wilbert Fueller works out on the Octane Fitness Commercial X-Ride
Elliptical. The club also has a new Octane Fitness Pro
3700 Elliptical and the Concept 2 Indoor Rower.
If you are looking for a great workout that’s easy on
the joints, come in and try the Octane X-Ride today.
This machine is a seated elliptical, which offers easy
and intense workouts, depending on the resistance
setting.
Stop by, and a certified personal trainer can show you
how to use this machine.
Are you drinking enough water?
As the temperatures climb, it is easy to get dehydrated.
Make sure you drink plenty of water. Some signs of
dehydration are: increased thirst, dry mouth and
swollen tongue, weakness, dizziness, palpitations
(a feeling that the heart is jumping or pounding),
confusion, fainting, and inability to sweat.

Look for more photos on Facebook.
Residents graced the Touchmark
runway with fashions from Attitudes
clothing store. A champagne social
and shopping in the lobby followed the
show.
A trip to Bessy’s Best in Sterling, North Dakota, gave residents
the opportunity to learn about the process and taste and
purchase locally made products from this family dairy farm.
You said it!
“I enjoy knowing the residents and the people that work here. They are all
very friendly and helpful and call me by my name!”

If you read the title and said to yourself,
wait a minute, it’s July: July is the time to
celebrate independence and unification. As
countries and as individuals, we are keenly
attracted to the notion of independence.
Research tells us that it’s our lifestyle—things
we do and choices we make—that determines
how we will age.
According to research done at California State University, Fullerton by C. Jessie Jones and Roberta
E. Rikli, a key element in maintaining independence later in life is sustaining one’s “fitness capacity
(strength, endurance, agility, and balance).” Simple, right? So why declare interdependence?
Because life happens. Appointments, other priorities, injuries, and many other reasons all serve
to interfere with or distract our attention from exercise. Encouragement and accountability can be
essential to sticking with a fitness program.
In our office, several team members go to the local YMCA to exercise at noon. Sometimes, we join a
group exercise class together, and other days we each do an individual program; regardless, we check
in with each other. We carpool. We rearrange schedules.
During this month when we celebrate unity and independence, ask someone to start a walking group
with you. Join a class. Walk around the corner and visit a friend. Ask a Life Enrichment/Wellness
team member about steps you could take with others to improve your fitness capacity.
Declare interdependence—and gain more independence!

regarding standards for maintaining physical independence in later years, email me at FullLife@
