My son moved to Germany, and I take German classes so I can feel a little more comfortable with the language when I visit him for the holidays.

I like to take quizzes and watch videos about topics I’m interested in like “what do you know about long-term care” from the Rewards earning page.

Though a news-oriented viewer, listener, and reader, I try to balance it with fun media such as crosswords, some sports, cooking, travel, how to’s. I enjoy walking(though far less not by choice). At a ‘mature’ age, I appreciate the efficiencies and capacities of technology most of the time.

I play AARP games every day to help keep my brain alert; also watch many of the videos to learn and earn points. In addition, I exercise every day both by walking for about 45 minutes and attending exercise and yoga classes where I live.

I folkdance once a week and take daily walks. I also do cardio exercises and/or yoga a couple times a week. I read and/or listen to books on tape. Watching

"Jeopardy" also helps me refresh my memory, and also teaches me facts that I never knew. I try to practice languages I have learned: Spanish, French.

I play brain games several times per week to keep my brain working out and continue to play music at age 62. I ride my bike on our local rail trails. I can see a positive change.

Working at my govt job keeps my brain active & lulls me to sleep simultaneously. 😆

Playing a variety of word games daily & solving logic problems is fun, challenging and perfect brain aerobics.

Lastly, friendly debates at our Covid Revised Girls Gatherings definitely keeps my brain active.

I have been a caregiver to several family members since I was 35.

I am still a caregiver today at the age of 53, I have to make sure their meds are filled each month which always requires a date of birth, which with the entire family that usually consists of at least rattling off 5 birthdays. I realize everyone uses speed dial to make calls but I remember each number on my head and dial it out.

My Mother had dementia at a young age of 58 and cared for her they lost 10 years of her life, it made me realize to try and remember everything I possibly could without technology

I started publishing indie novels about four years ago. Writing keeps my brain active and I enjoy sharing my stories with the world. I play online games which also help me to relax and I work part-time in an elementary school. Being around children definitely helps me stay active, creative, and engaged!

Besides taking quizzes, playing many of the different games keeps my brain occupied.

Besides the above, I volunteer at food pantries, races, and other types of non-profit events.
