Here are what past participants had to say about Stay Strong, Stay Healthy classes– “I feel stronger, especially in my shoulders.” “My posture is good again because my spine is stronger.” “I find it easier to get up from my chair and I have more energy!” Strength training is no longer just for bodybuilders. Some of the other benefits of strength training include: improves balance, relieves arthritis, helps with weight control, reduces stress, lifts depression and reduces risks for heart disease.

Each class will include warm-up exercises, eight strengthening exercises, with or without hand and ankle weights and cool-down stretches. Weights will be available on-site, and a trained instructor will help you learn and do these exercises safely.
