Senior Fitness is a class specifically designed for older adults with an emphasis on improving strength, flexibility and balance, and a general improvement in quality of life.

 

The Senior Fitness class is based around essential exercises that make daily activities—like getting out of a chair or picking grandchildren up­—easier to do. All exercises have modifications that can be altered based on each individual's level of fitness. The instructor can help you determine appropriate recommendations on which exercises should be modified to be either more simplified, or more challenging.

 

Benefits

Exercise will not only make you feel better but overall health often improves, increasing bone density, regulating blood pressure, and improving bio-markers of health like cholesterol levels. Exercise helps seniors have more energy throughout the day, reduces stress levels and just allow you to enjoy life more in general. The social aspect of this class is also really good, because fellow seniors support each other in making it through each workout.
