Dr. Martin presented a power point presentation on Being Safely Active throughout the spring of 2011. The presentation included a 30 minute lecture and discussed both the mental and physical aspects of staying active throughout your life. It also included a brief presentation of stretches and strengthening exercises. The risks of a sedentary lifestyle were discussed, but the benefits of staying active were emphasized.
The lecture was presented at the Salisbury Estates in Pittsfield, the Froio Senior Center in Pittsfield as well as the Senior Centers in Lanesboro, Dalton and Lenox. In addition, the lecture was presented at Sugar Hill in Dalton, Berkshire Place in Pittsfield and Kimball Farms in Lenox. The lecture was well received with good positive feedback.
Dr. Martin’s commitment to community outreach and education is a continuing goal.
