AGELESS GRACE®
21 Simple Tools for Lifelong Comfort and EaseTM
Anti-Aging Exercises That Almost Anyone - of Any Age - Can DoTM


Ageless Grace® is a fitness and wellness program designed for all ages and abilities that focuses on the healthy longevity of the body, mind, emotions and spirit based on movement exercises that are natural and come with ease.  These four realms (body, mind, spirit and emotions), when in balance, create health and well-being, reduce stress, keep the mind agile and the body responsive and allow the body to function at its optimal range of motion throughout the duration of the participant's life. It's never too early to start Ageless Grace® - and it is never to late to begin!

For the mind, there are right and left brain movement activity series, numbering sequences of physical movement in patterns that play "games" with the mind; and there are mind-body directions that allow the brain to consciously choose and direct the movement of the body in either a random or specific sequence.

For the emotions, there are sounds, words, expressions and actual "pretend" emotions which are used through the movement class to inspire, stimulate, and release endorphins - at the same time these exercises allow the body to release tension and tightness.

For the spirit, the class includes imagery, creativity, variety, playfulness, polarities, noise, games, and group or "community" interaction - all done to a wide range of music types that encourage self-expression and nourish each person's personality and authentic self.

And finally, all the movement and exercises included in the Ageless Grace® classes begin and end with the body. The movement of the body is used as a reference point to provide stimulation and relaxation to the other three realms of mind, emotions and spirit. 

Each of the 21 Tools addresses a primary factor that causes aging in the body and each tool provides many secondary fitness benefits.  All 21 Tools stimulate and utilize the five areas of the brain - analytical, strategic, kinesthetic learning, memory/recall, and creativity and imagination.

The movement Tools of Ageless Grace® are organic rather than choreographed, and focus on using the core to stimulate cognitive function and physical function simultaneously.  The Tools are practiced using a chair for stability and range of motion.  This allows all ages and abilities of seniors to practice it, as well as baby boomers, young adults, those with weight, joint, diabetes and other challenges, those in wheelchairs or with other physical limitations - and kids absolutely love it!  It also provides a great multigenerational program for grandparents, adult children and grandchildren to share.

The Ageless Grace® program has been developed by Denise Medved, 1st Degree Black Belt Nia Instructor; Tai Chi Teacher, AFAA Certified Personal Trainer, Feng Shui Consultant and International Presenter and Speaker.
