TOPS News September 19, 2013

Seven TOPS and two KOPS were present for the September 19 meeting of Imperial TOPS NE0267. Yes-Yes for the week is to eat at least two fruits and two vegetables each day plus a vegetable or fruit. Also, do at least 15 minutes “purposeful” exercise each day. Next week is the last week to gain points for the September Team Challenge.

Cheryl collected data for the Fall Rally Contest. Most of the club plans to go to the October 19 Rally in Ogallala.

Diann presented a program encouraging exercise. She gave a Prescription for Exercise, an encouragement to schedule exercise, start slow and then build up, keep it interesting, listen to your body, and celebrate success. She also presented information on how physical exercise helps develop healthy brains. Just 150 minutes a week of any exercise that increases your heart rate helps boost your brain power – no matter how old you are – by increasing the flow of blood to the brain.

TOPS Club meets from 9 to 10 a.m. on Thursdays at the Imperial Community Center, with weigh-ins beginning at 8:30. For more information about TOPS, phone Cheryl at 883-0265, or go to www.tops.org. The first meeting is free.
