The East Portland community has a new fitness trail!

Adventist Health Portland LivingWell Fitness Trail runs the perimeter of the scenic Adventist Medical Center campus providing a fun way to gain the benefits of physical activity in a beautiful natural setting.

The one-mile outdoor fitness trail, and other locations in and around the campus, incorporate a series of QR code trail signs.

Guests may choose to use their Smartphone to scan a QR code at each station to gain immediate access to brief video exercise demonstrations on strengthening the core, lower body, upper body, and/or on improving flexibility. Body weight provides the perfect resistance, so no extra equipment is needed – other than a Smartphone.

• Walking boosts immune function.  A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less.
• Outdoor activity boosts mood. A study at the University of Queensland, Australia, found that those who exercised outdoors on a regular basis had higher levels of serotonin, a hormone that regulates mood, than those who mainly exercise indoors. They also had higher levels of endorphins, the “feel good” rush that occurs after exercising, especially in green, outdoor environments.

A reverse mortgage is a loan that must be re-paid. Borrower retains title and the loan is due and payable when the last borrower no longer lives in the home as their primary residence.

One Borrower must be 62; Borrowers must pay taxes, insurance and maintain the home. Failing to pay these amounts may cause the reverse mortgage loan to become due immediately and may subject the property to a tax lien or to possible foreclosure.

The lender may charge an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium, closing costs and servicing fees, if applicable; all or any of which may be added to the loan balance.

The loan balance grows over time and interest is charged on the outstanding balance. Interest on a reverse mortgage is not deductible from the person’s income tax return until the borrower repays all or part of the reverse mortgage loan. Not tax advice, please consult your tax professional.

When the loan is due and payable, some or all of the equity in the property with the reverse mortgage no longer belongs to borrowers, who may need to sell the home. Family members may refinance or otherwise repay the loan, with interest, from other sources.
