Exercise Science Professor Delivers ‘Successful Aging’ Community Presentation

B. Sue Graves, Ed. 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.”

Designed for community-dwelling older adults aged 60 and over, Graves conducts free FAU-Well Program sessions on Mondays and Wednesday from 8 to 9 a.m., FAU Campus Recreation, Studio B, on the Boca Raton campus.

The Sinai Residences event was organized by the FAU Foundation, Inc. as part of its Florida Atlantic Speaks series.
