| Event Description: |
Stay Strong, Stay Healthy is an eight-week evidence-based strength-training program designed for older adults who want to improve their quality of life and stay active. Classes are held in familiar settings such as senior centers and church halls, not the gym. The exercises are easy to learn, safe and effective. No need to wear special clothes—just comfortable, loose-fitting pants and shirt, along with sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes.
The benefits of strength training include: increases muscle strength, improves balance, enhances flexibility, strengthens bones, relieves arthritis, helps control weight, lifts depression, reduces stress, reduces risks for heart disease.
Over the course of the program, participants will increase strength and improve their balance. Weights will be available on-site, and Emily Barbee, Nutrition and Health Education Specialist, will help participants learn and do these exercises safely.
The program runs Mondays and Wednesdays, August 5 through September 30 - no class September 2. Registration is required—call Wendy or Marybeth at 636-922-8233 to register. |
