The BLR Township Office in Palmer Rapids is hosting a mental health and movement conference.
The event, curated by Dr. Sandy Musclow and fitness consultant Norma Woods, is taking place this Sunday night at 7:00.
Woods says they will address seasonal depression and how movement can help mental health issues, especially in the winter. She says that in the winter, people see the sun less and it affects hormones which can cause certain people to feel “down”.
She says she’ll be giving the audience exercises and tips on how to stay active while remaining in the comfort of their own homes. One of those is walking up and down the stairs. She also suggests different ways to do push ups as well as planks and sit ups.
The event is open to all and admission is free.
