From Laurie Stanton:

If regular exercise is not already a part of your routine, you might be wondering how much you need to do to give your mental health a boost.

The really good news is exercise doesn’t have to be strenuous or take a long time. Studies show low or moderate intensity exercise is enough to make a difference in terms of your mood and thinking patterns.

Physical activity and sedentary guidelines recommend adults should be active most days, aiming for a total of 2.5-5 hours of moderate physical activity per week, such as a brisk walk or swimming. Alternatively, getting 1.25-2.5 hours of vigorous physical activity per week - such as jogging, fast cycling, or a team sport. Or, you can combine both moderate and vigorous activities.

However, any exercise is better than none. Going for a leisurely walk, or activities like stretching and yoga, can also have huge benefits on your mind and body. Even doing housework like sweeping, mopping, or vacuuming can give you a mild work out.

The Maury County Arts Guild is performing "The Wizard of Oz" on March 15, 16,17,22, & 23rd. Some of our students are performers!

The mission of the Maury County Arts Guild is to enrich, entertain, educate, and connect people of all ages throughout our community.

The Maury County Arts Guild makes a difference by creating professional quality shows and offering quality classes, workshops, and advocacy. By doing these things within a fiscally responsible organization we work to become a valuable member of the arts in Middle Tennessee.

​

Some times we become so focused on academics that we don't shine on the arts. If you feel like your child is musically inclined, there is a great resource here in Columbia that provides music classes and lessons for kids in Columbia, TN.
