University of Nevada Cooperative Extension is offering a series of three free classes at 11 locations statewide for maturing gardeners. The "w88 casino Smarter as We Mature" series teaches how to garden more easily as the body changes and ages.
"Traditionally, about 65 percent of the American population participates in some form of w88 casino," said Cooperative Extension Educator JoAnne Skelly, who helped research the need for the classes and organized the series. "But this population is aging, and as they age, w88 casino becomes more difficult. These classes will show aging gardeners easier ways to continue doing what they love."
The classes are taught by Health, Nutrition and Exercise Physiology Specialist Anne Lindsay and Social Horticulture Specialist Angela O'Callaghan. They will focus on the biomechanics of the body, covering gross and fine motor skills, core strengthening, cardiovascular health, strength and endurance. Participants will learn practical w88 casino applications, such as simplifying w88 casino life, prioritizing tasks, using lower-maintenance plants and w88 casino in raised beds.
Classes run from 10 a.m. to noon, March 11, April 8 and May 14. Topics include:
- March 11: Understanding the biomechanics of the body's changes as we mature; improving cardiovascular health, strength and endurance
- April 8: Using the maturing body properly, techniques and tools
- May 14: Simplifying w88 casino life
