Winter Survival Guide

TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL Beyond competition and camaraderie, tennis offers a variety of health benefits such as increasing aerobic capacities, lowering resting heart rate & blood pressure, improving metabolic function, increasing bone density, improving muscle tone & flexibility and increasing reaction times. It is a great non-impact sport suitable for all skill levels. As America’s fastest growing sport, pickleball offers many of the same benefits and is a great way to stay social and make new friends. Most Kolter communities across the Southeast offer residents both tennis and pickleball. WALKING, JOGGING AND CYCLING Physical activity doesn’t have to be complicated. A simple brisk walk can help you live a longer, healthier life. Good for both the body and the brain, daily physical movement helps release mood-boosting endorphins and improves overall cognitive function. Many Kolter communities offer community walking trails or parks making it easy to go for a walk, jog or bike ride at any time without having to brave the elements. SUN AND FUN Living year round in the Southeast will have you walking on sunshine. Exposure to sunlight is crucial to your well-being and has a huge impact on depression and sleep quality. Natural sunlight also triggers production of vitamin D, aka the sunshine vitamin. Relationships and connection to others is also crucial to your happiness and well-being. Community clubs and social groups ranging from crafts to cards help fuel existing relationships and create new ones.
