GROUP FITNESS CLASSES FOR OLDER ADULTS

This program is suitable for those who have already taken the program as well as those who are new to fitness

This program is comprised of two specific classes:

• Aerobics for Older Adults: This class is designed to improve your cardiovascular endurance, balance, and flexibility. A great way to stay in shape or try to get back into an exercise routine.  Paced just right with a gentle warm up followed by fun cardiovascular routines all done to lively and familiar music. Some of the class time will be spent using the cardiovascular machines as a group in the gym. The class will continue with some balance work followed by a thorough cool down and a stretching segment. Participants will be given the option to be seated in a chair or to stand for this class. Further, participants will be encouraged to work at their own pace and to listen to their bodies. Modifications will be offered for exercises throughout the class. This class is suitable for all abilities and it will challenge each fitness level. NO previous experience required.
• Strength Training for Older Adults: This class is designed to improve your muscle strength, bone density, balance, and flexibility. We use a variety of exercises with handheld weights, tubing, and bands to provide you with a total body-muscle strengthening and conditioning workout. Proper form and safety will be emphasized, and modifications will be given for each and every exercise and stretch for those individuals with any limitations. This class is suitable for all abilities and will challenge each fitness level. No previous experience required.

Studies have shown that exercise helps reduce your risk of heart disease; diabetes; colon cancer; obesity, and osteoporosis, amongst many other ailments. Further, exercise helps to lower cholesterol levels and reduce joint swelling and pain in people suffering from arthritis. Why would you not want to be an active older adult today? Optimize your fitness with group exercise!
