D., FACSM, FISSN, director of the FAU-Well Program and associate professor in the Schmidt College of Science’s Department of Exercise Science and Health Promotion (ESHP), was a guest speaker at the Toby and Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences in Boca Raton on Oct. 22. More than 50 people turned out for her engaging community presentation on “Successful Aging.�
“As we continue to age, it is essential to keep moving and exercising,� stated Graves. “Not only does staying active help combat a sedentary lifestyle, but it also helps to improve one’s overall quality of life and prevent or minimize disease progression like obesity, cardiovascular disease and lung disease. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the residents at Sinai and sharing my knowledge with them.�
