Senior Programs
Silver Sneakers
Classes are designed for older adults who wish to enjoy fitness, fun, and friends. We move to music through a variety of exercises, designed to increase strength, range of motion, and balance, supporting activities for daily living. We use light weights, elastic tubes with handles, and small balls for resistance. A chair is used for seated exercises and standing support. These classes are low-impact training suitable for beginners to intermediate skill levels and can be adapted to meet all fitness abilities. Class placement will be determined based on each member’s needs, abilities, and class size. Bring a bottle of water and wear comfortable clothing and footwear appropriate for exercise. Please come a few minutes early to gather the provided equipment for each class so that we can prepare and begin on time.
*Preregistration required. Contact Terri Kelley Palin in the office, 207-876-4813.
HEALTHY4LIFE
Healthy4Life is specifically geared towards community members that have health concerns that may hinder them from traditional exercise classes. These conditions may include heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, join replacement or a stroke. We will use cardio equipment such recumbent ellipticals or bikes and light weights to gently work through a fitness program specific to each individual. This class celebrates successes together and encourages each other in our daily challenges.
*Preregistration and a doctors note is required to begin Healthy4Life classes. Contact Terri Kelley Palin in the office, 207-876-4813.
