AARP Rewards Community Learning & Earning Contest August 2022

Keeping my brain active is really important to me. I do the NYTimes Crossword and other puzzles every morning. I do 3 different crosswords on the AARP puzzle site every day. I also am learning Spanish on Duolingo, because I know that learning a new language is a real brain exercise! I have two standing lunch dates every week to keep me socially active, too.

I watch videos and do quizzes on the AARP rewards every single day and travel experience a lot of  different places planning To stay young

I love the AARP site it has so much information that I read and find very interesting on what I can learn about. I play games and I love doing the quizzes on the site keeps me entertained. I visit AARP site 2-4 times a day for information and quizzes.

The way I keep my brain active is that when I get up every morning I take my vitamins, I eat a heart healthy breakfast, go for a walk with my dog or a 15-30 exercise . I do fun time  by playing video games with my 10 year old grandson, watch a movie or TV, and I also help him study for a lesson or with his homework. I do leisure time where I like to go window shopping and just take in the scenery , I'm more of a visual kind of person. I enjoy conversating with the sales associate about different things in there store help keeps me knowledgeable. To help stimulate my brain with some enjoyment a new excitement I go on vacation with family and friends where I travel the world to different countries I fly and take cruises. I try to keep my brain active by staying engaged by living my life to the fullest.

It is very important to me to keep my brain active, especially since I retired. I love taking online classes.  I just finished a Spanish course and am soon beginning an Anatomy and Physiology course, even though it was the hardest close I took when I was in college!  The games on AARP are loads of fun, as are the challenges of quizzes and video activities that enable us to earn points.  My sisters and I enjoy doing trivia challenges, such as listing all the states and their capitals.  This summer my sister and I created learning activities for my 6-year-old niece to keep her skills sharp during summer break.  Another way I keep my brain active is by reading a variety of books and discussing them in book club.  I look forward to reading what others are doing so that I can incorporate even more brain-building enjoyment.

Trying to figure out how to stop following this post

I walk at least 5 miles a day to keep my body and brain in shape.  I also teach students from kindergarten to 12th grade as an EC Homebound Teacher.  Being around young people keeps my brain active. 

Since I have a very nonverbal brain, I love to take free math classes on Khan Academy.  I have the app on my iPad, and I am very challenged and engaged with the different math problems.  Right now I am working on Algebra and Geometry. 

I READ LOTS of non-fiction, historical fiction, ethnic fiction, & classics. I also watch documentaries. When I have the money, I travel.

The way that I keep myself actively well is by listening to old school music, watching comedies, reading the Bible to keep me spiritually balanced. I work part-time to keep myself culturally involved and weekly exercises for mobility.
