Strong Women Stay Young

Functional fitness is the primary theme for this program. Strong Women Stay Young is a national fitness program designed to help older adults improve their health and increase muscle mass, which can help them maintain an independent, freely functioning lifestyle.

About the Program:

• Maintain strength, flexibility and balance for daily life to reverse age related changes
• Work on resistance training to build bone density muscle mass and improve joint health
• Learn appropriate exercises, proper technique and adequate intensity for your physical condition/health
• Progress at your pace, without pain, and with other older women
• No requirement for special clothing, or for the purchase of weight equipment.
