Strength Training for Seniors

Co-sponsored by the Council on Aging
Studies have shown that seniors who supplement their exercise routine with light strength training are able to stay active longer. This course is for those who have been exercising regularly and who wish to increase their strength, balance, stamina, and physical flexibility. We'll start and end with stretches and flexibility exercises to help make everyday movements smooth and comfortable. We'll also work on low-impact conditioning, mat work, and endurance and strength training while sitting or standing (weights optional). Bring a mat or towel and a set (2) of one-, two-, or three-pound hand weights to class. Seniors only; discount does not apply.
