Research has shown that exercising daily brings tremendous benefits to our health, including an increase in lifespan, lowering of risk of diseases, higher bone density, and weight loss. Try to increase the activity in your life, and choose walking over transport for close distances. Climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator, join an aerobics class, or a dance class. Pick exercises that you enjoy! When you enjoy a sport, you naturally want to do it. Exercise isn’t about suffering and pushing yourself; it’s about being healthy and having fun at the same time. Adding variation in your exercises will keep them interesting!
Corina Kells, of Madison, has been enthralled with photography since she was a young girl. She is the next artist to be featured in the KK Berge building’s Emerging Artist Gallery at the end of January 2023 through the end of February 2023. Kells grew up in the 1990s and says she was that friend who always had a disposable camera in hand at the ready. Kells reflected fondly about the days gone by when she’d bring the disposable cameras to Thrifty White and the anticipation of getting the developed photos back.
