Car ShowWe had a great time at our Car Show on Saturday, August 21st. We want to thank the Gallopin’ Gertie Model A Ford Club for coming out and bringing their awesome vehicles. We also had a couple of the residents bring their cars out to show off as well.

PaintingWe have so many amazing artists who live at Julian Estates. We have painters, knitters, quilters, and so many more crafters. Several of our residents love to do watercolors. Here are Bill and Vinnie painting their beautiful pictures.

Exercises With Mariah KayeThree-Point Landing

Standing as solidly as possible makes your balance more secure. The most solid foot position is a triangle, with your weight distributed evenly between the base of the big toe, the base of the little toe, and the heel. It’s easiest to start learning this awareness from the standing position. Shift your weight around to experiment with getting it just right. You can also discover your usual habit by looking at the wear on the tread of a well-worn shoe. Mine, for example, wears out first on the outer back corner, and somewhat less on the outer border (when the shoe gets really old!). And when I check in with my feet, I discover that I tend to put most of my weight on the outer edge of my foot. When moving, checking for Three-Point Landing is more complicated as you roll across your foot with each step. I like that challenge, because it makes me aware of what a complicated miracle walking is!

Ankle Circles and Chicken Wings

Wake up with a smile and give yourself an excuse to savor your last cozy moments in bed. Ankle flexibility is crucial to staying upright since your feet need to adjust to variations in the walking surface. Starting your day under the covers by moving your ankles/feet in circles as well as up and down (pointing and flexing) makes sure your feet are ready to do their job the moment they hit the floor. And while you’re at it, why not add some arms? Try lying on your back, tucking your arms by your sides with elbows at your waist and putting your hands palms-up beside your shoulders (like folded chicken wings). This posture opens the chest, stretches the back and gives your posture a boost. As a bonus, it feels good! Aaahh!

Un-Dividing Attention to Reduce your Risk of Falling

My pilot friend studies reports of plane crashes. In almost every crash, he says, the accident included at least three things going wrong. That got me thinking that maybe this applies to falling “crashes” as well. For example, maybe you’re a bit tired from not sleeping so well last night, so you’re not picking up your feet as much as usual (#1). You’re walking on a slightly irregular sidewalk and coming to the bump that shouldn’t be there (#2). And maybe at that moment you hear a bird singing across the street, and turn to look (#3). You’re now dividing your attention and set up for a fall. Un-divide your attention by pausing for a moment to reduce your risk of falling. I noticed that many of my falls happened when I was hurrying (not the same as walking fast), which was my habitual #1. When I considered the consequences, it was easy to change my habit. Now I have more attention for the birds!

Walking with Posture in Mind

An erect posture puts your center of gravity in the most stabilizing position, and more stable means better balance. We spend so much time in “computer posture,” with torso curled forward and palms facing inward. Walking gives your muscles a chance to try something different. By turning your palms forward, or putting your hands in hitchhiking position, you move the shoulder blades into a better position for optimal functioning. By tucking your chin straight back, almost to the point of feeling like you’re choking yourself, you uncurl your upper back and give yourself a chance to stand taller. Standing taller creates the erect posture that creates stability. (The secret side benefit is feeling better!)
