Wits Workout Promotes Brain Health in Older Adults

Join Linda Curley, Health and Human Sciences Educator, Purdue University Extension - Lake County for the Wits Workout sessions. Wits Workout will be offered at local libraries throughout Lake County in Indiana between June - August 2023. Participating libraries include: Crown Point, Dyer-Schererville, Lowell, St. John, and Whiting.

University of Illinois Extension developed Wits Workout based on brain health and aging research. “Just like muscles, our brains need exercise to maintain flexibility and strength,” says Byers, co-author of Wits Workout. “Challenging ourselves with new and diverse activities promotes cognitive health and can help maintain brain function as we age.”
