Bramalea BulletinAquaFit BenefitsAs seniors age, they often face what can be a frustrating dilemma. On one hand, exercise can extend their lifespan and improve their quality of life; on the other, many exercises run the risk of falling or suffering a joint injury, situations that can do the exact opposite. Water exercise, such as water aerobics, provide the benefits of exercise while mitigating the risks.Water Aerobics BasicsWater aerobics is a variation of group fitness practiced in shoulder-deep water. In a typical class, participants will run through traditional aerobics exercises, calisthenics and motions that are only feasible while partially submerged. A typical class will last between 40 and 60 minutes, and may or may not be accompanied by music played from the ground nearby.Exercise BenefitsWater aerobics provides a cardiovascular burn and a light resistance workout. Cardiovascular exercise is especially important for seniors because it directly reduces the participants' risk for circulatory problems such as heart disease. Resistance workouts help to maintain strength and stability in the muscles, which can go a long way toward preserving the balance, range of motion and mobility that seniors often begin to lose.Joint ProtectionSome of the more traditional exercise choices such as running or aerobics can be hard on the joints. The repeated impact of your feet landing on the ground places strain on the ankles, knees, hips and back. Although this isn't a problem for 20-year-old marine recruits, the muscles and connective tissues in a senior's body aren't always up to this kind of treatment. Water aerobics protects your joints in two ways. The buoyancy of the water supports a portion of your weight, reducing the load on your joints as you move. The resistance of the water prevents any of your joints from moving too quickly, which can prevent mild hyperextension and repetitive-stress injuries.Fall PreventionFalling is a major concern for many seniors, owing to a combination of reduced balance and growing fragility of bones. This can make many exercise options too risky. In the water, your natural buoyancy helps to keep you upright. Even if you do lose your balance completely, you will splash gently into the liquid rather than falling to the floor.

July BirthdaysIn astrology, those born between July 1–22 are Cancer’s Crabs. Kind and protective, Crabs love to nurture others. While they may be emotional, they are never soft. Cancers are tenacious in their pursuit of harmony at home and in the workplace. Those born between July 23–31 are Leo’s Lions. Lions are the “kings” of the zodiac: dramatic, ambitious, confident, and hard to resist. Leos are also generous and loyal, putting both their family and friends first.

Anything but ConventionalIt’s the ultimate event for any fan of comics and entertainment, costume parties and celebrity sightings: July 19–23 is 2017’s Comic-Con International. This fan convention is the biggest of its kind in the world, and in many ways the fans provide the biggest show. People are encouraged to show up wearing elaborate costumes of their favorite comic book, television, film, or book characters. You’ll likely see the Incredible Hulk mingling with Jedi Knights, Harry Potter, and characters from the sitcom The Big Bang Theory. This eclectic mix is Comic-Con’s signature achievement, bringing fans of all ages and interests together to “geek out” over their favorite popular entertainment.

Self-described “geeks” have been flocking to San Diego for Comic-Con since 1970, when Shel Dorf, Richard Alf, Ken Krueger, Marvin Nelson, Mike Towry, Barry Alphonso, Bob Sourk, and Greg Bear founded the Golden State Comic Book Convention. The original event drew only 300 people, but it was a mecca for all things comic related. Over the years, the scope of the production grew along with the size of the convention crowds. While comic books still take center stage, the convention also features science fiction and fantasy film and television, video games, collectible card games, and cartoons. The spectacle of the convention now draws crowds as large as 167,000.

Attendees don’t just come to admire each other’s costumes; they attend seminars and panels featuring their favorite writers and artists. Comic book professionals offer hands-on workshops. Scholars present critical studies of the effect of comics on culture. Video game and entertainment companies show sneak previews of upcoming projects, often accompanied by big-name celebrities. Evenings feature awards ceremonies and a masquerade ball. For anyone interested in comic culture, Comic-Con is the event of the year, where attendees go “to see and be seen” in the getups of their favorite characters.
