The evidence-based Stay Strong, Stay Healthy program is designed to increase independent living older adults’ access to a safe, structured, and effective strength training program. Stay Strong, Stay Healthy-Level 3 is a follow-up to Level 2 and for those who want to challenge themselves a bit more! Over eight weeks, participants learn exercises to improve strength, flexibility and balance. At each session, a prescribed set of 8 upper and lower body strengthening exercises are completed along with warm-up and cool-down stretches. Participants are made to feel comfortable and are encouraged to gradually build the strength beneficial to health.
This program will be 100% virtual. You can utilize your own weights for the program. You can also check weights out from your local MU Extension Office.
**There will be no class on Monday, September 16th.
