Description
Benefits of resistance training include strength for functional activities (which helps maintain independence), strong bones, weight management, and reduced risk of injuries. Resistance training of the lower body is one of the best bone builders and defenses against falls. Our movements include a variety of standing and seated positions with body weight and/or resistance bands (provided by Oasis) to build strength. Limited enrollment.
