Exercises for your legs, chest, back, glutes, biceps, shoulders and triceps (sleeveless shirt muscles - think Spring people!) and abs are performed with a barbell or your own body weights. Once you master the current program, you will begin learning a new one to keep you challenged and your body pumping! For best results, we recommend you attend this class more than once a week.

Each class begins with a tai chi warm-up, followed by a traditional Yoga sun salutation to continue to prepare the body for work. Holding standing poses for a period of time for strength is followed by balance poses to improve balance and help prevent future falls. Hip exercises open up the hip area and help ease low-back pain. Pilates exercises for abdominals and back are incorporated to build a strong core. Forward bends stretch and lengthen tight hamstrings. Class concludes with 10 minutes of quiet meditation. Participants often find this part of class to be the most beneficial since many of us do not take time out of our very busy and stressfull lives to quiet our minds and bodies and relax.

Aquatic Fitness Classes
Classes are for men and women of all ages. This low-impact exercise program uses water as resistance to displace 90 per cent of your body weight, and, unlike land aerobics, eliminating stress on the joints. This class helps you develop increased flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and muscle tone in a most refreshing way. No need to register. Just present an Aquatics punch card.

Aqua Light
A great class for those looking for a lighter workout in the water, or those new to water fitness. This class includes light cardio and strength exercises to reduce joint pain and stiffness, increase flexibility, range of motion, and more!

AquaFit
A water fitness class for those looking for a cardiovascular and strength workout for weight management with limited impact on your joints.

 

Senior Strength, Stability, and Stretch
Join your friends and get your heart going, strengthen your muscles, work on improving your balance, and finish with a nice relaxing stretch. All this in one hour!
