Brain and Body Fitness

Changes in brain health, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, are one of the greatest health and societal challenges facing Wisconsin communities. Despite the benefits of engaging in brain health-promoting activities, readily accessible, evidence-guided programming can be hard to come by! Since 2019, the Gilmore-Bykovskyi Brain Health Team from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health has partnered with Madison Schools and Community Recreation to deliver the Brain and Body Fitness Program. They provide this 3-week program through volunteer efforts of faculty, staff, and students at no cost to participants. Through Brain and Body Fitness, they aim to provide research-informed education on ways to maintain brain health and engage in brain and physical exercises. Come prepared for light exercises (mostly seated). Register now for this free class at 608-873-8585.
