fun and move to the music through a variety of exercises designed
to increase muscular strength, range of movement, and activity for
daily living skills. Hand held weights, elastic tubing with
handles, and a ball are offered for resistance, and a chair is used
for seated and/or standing support.

Sneakers II - Cardio Circuit
Combine
fun with fitness to increase your cardiovascular and muscular endurance
power with a standing circuit workout. Upper body strength
work with hand held weights, elastic tubing with handles, and a
ball is alternated with no-impact aerobic choreography. A
chair is offered for support, stretching, and relaxation exercises.
SeniorSplash
(water exercise for seniors)
This
water exercise program is developed especially for seniors.
SeniorSplash is set to music but is not as fast paced as Aqua Challenge.

of water. Come join the fun as we move to the beat!
