Fitness Class Descriptions
Water Aerobics
This class includes a large combination of exercises designed to improve
muscular fitness, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, balance, and overall
coordination. This
is a fun class, safe for participants suffering from balance complications
or joint sensitivity. So "suit up" and come on in…the water's
fine!
Staying Strong
If you like strength and condition-type workouts, this is the class for
you. We focus on three aspects of fitness during this class. The first part
of the class, we
use the dumbbells or resistance bands to improve strength, then we do balance
exercises and finish up stretching exercises to improve flexibility.
Ai Chi
Ai Chi is a form of Tai Chi that is practiced in the water. Ai Chi is a
simple water exercise and relaxation program that combines breathing and continual
movement while promoting balance, harmony, and healing.
Step & Sculpt
This class is designed for the serious exerciser! This class is fast-paced
and performed at a moderate to high intensity level. We alternate the use of
the steps but we always get a good cardiovascular workout! In addition, this
class also focuses on free weight exercises as well as stretching.
Better Balance
As it's name suggests, this class is designed to improve balance. There
is a large variety of balance exercises that can be performed in a group setting,
and this
class will offer as many as possible! We'll use the hand rails for standing
exercises and the chairs for functional exercises.
Afternoon Stretch
The main purpose of this class is to improve flexibility and range of motion.
Stretches will be taught in a way that allows each person to exercise at his/her
own fitness level. Flexibility is easily improved with minor physical exertion.
Try it, you might just find that this type of exercise is relaxing and good
for you, too!
Sit & Fit
As the name might suggest, this type of exercise is done sitting down!
If you have joint pain or difficulty standing for prolonged periods of time
but still want an
excellent workout, try this class! We do mild to moderate levels of cardiovascular
exercise as well as free weight and flexibility exercises.
Menu Education

tips that will aid you in planning your meals. The dining room menu for the
following week
