Health Woes Got You Down?

Vantage is here to help you sift through all that information to find health and fitness tips that relate to your personal health needs! Vantage is committed to offering top-notch health and nutrition information from reputable sources. Follow our blog and social media pages for the latest and greatest in health news. Whether or not you are a current Vantage member, read on to find out more about our holistic approach to wellness.
There are so many benefits to becoming more health-conscious, especially as you age. Besides the obvious physical aspect, the friendships and social networks you form through physical activity can help your mental health. When you join a gym or fitness club, you begin to see the same people over and over - forming a social network of folks with similar goals in mind. Since loneliness is often a factor for seniors, especially when family lives far away, the importance of this daily interaction and a social network cannot be overlooked.
Vantage is proud to partner with Silver&Fit© to offer the very best in fitness to our Medicare members. Silver&Fit© offers our members the opportunity to enroll in over 1400 health and wellness centers in-network across Louisiana and Arkansas - at no additional cost. This includes both big fitness chains like Anytime Fitness, or your local YMCA. The choice is up to you!
Many perks are included in this Silver&Fit© membership. For a small additional charge, Medicare members can attend specialized group fitness classes for seniors. If going to the gym isn’t convenient, members enrolled in Silver&Fit© can order one of over thirty home fitness kits for free. Another perk of membership is the ASHConnect app, which allows you to sync your fitness progress with a wearable device, such as a FitBit or smart fitness tracker. The app uses location technology to log your steps or biking miles. The app also allows for virtual streaming of group exercise classes.
It’s important for Medicare members to know that they can take advantage of one-on-one healthy aging coaching once a week through their Silver&Fit© plan. Components of healthy aging include diet and mental health in addition to traditional fitness coaching. Lifestyle and aging coaching can help those entering their sunset years age gracefully and S&F can help with healthy eating, exercise, and even tips on managing certain conditions. Upgrade your lifestyle through the aging process.
