Description

Resistance training is one of the best bone builders and defenses against falls. Engage in movements that aid balance, contribute to proper posture and weight management, build strength for daily activities, and help prevent injury. Our movements include a variety of standing and seated positions with body weight and resistance bands (provided by Oasis) to build strength. Seated modifications are available. Bring a yoga mat, a towel, and water. Limited enrollment.
