Geri-Fit Tuesdays and Thursdays @ 10:00 AM, Lead by Kathleen McBee
Once a person reaches the age of 50, unless they do some sort of strength training on a regular base, then they begin to lose one pound of muscle each year. Once we reach the age of 70, that muscle loss increases to two pounds lost per year. Designed exclusively for older adults, Geri-Fit helps rebuild strength that's been lost through the aging process to help ensure a higher level of function as older adults continue to age.

Chair Yoga Explained: Yoga has been well-researched for its health benefits for those with hypertension, osteoporosis, arthritis, hormonal changes, and other conditions that tend to impact seniors. According to the Mayo Clinic, as we get older, we naturally lose strength and flexibility, which can in turn affect our sense of stability and balance. Fortunately, yoga is known for its ability to help improve muscle tone, flexibility, coordination, and balance. The key for seniors, especially those who are new to yoga, is to find ways to practice it that allows them to feel stable and supported throughout the practice. Anyone can practice with a chair – either sitting down or using the chair for support in standing poses. Remember that each person’s body develops differently over time, and we all bring in different health concerns and physical conditions. For example, hypertension or glaucoma may preclude forward bending poses. You may want to avoid bearing weight on injured knees or arthritic joints. Please let your instructor know what limitations you may have before you begin each session. Yoga should not cause pain or strain on your body. Listen to your body and do not push past what is safe for you. We will be focusing on breathing, stretching, and improving muscle tone, coordination, balance, and flexibility. We look forward to seeing you Wednesday, February 8th at 10:00am to start your journey to improved health. Please contact Lisa if you have any questions.
