You can participate in classes such as Silver Sneakers Muscular Strength & Range of Movement (MSROM). This is a core class for total body conditioning. The instructor will guide you through functional, daily exercise activities with resistance tools to be used at your own pace while improving overall strength, flexibility, posture and balance.
Along with MSROM is Silver Sneakers Yoga Stretch. This class offers a variety of safely designed movements to increase flexibility and balance, with restorative breathing exercises to promote stress reduction and mental clarity. This class helps to increase joint range of motion, strength, balance and helps with relaxation.
