Course Description

Strength training is an important part of fitness for older adults, because it can help to offset the loss of muscle mass and bone density that come with aging. This class will introduce participants to basic exercises, suitable for older adults, which target the major muscle groups. We will focus on dumbbell and bodyweight exercises, but variations using resistance bands will be demonstrated as well as adaptions for different fitness levels.

Required Supplies: One pair of dumbbells 3 - 5 pounds each - Walmart, sporting goods store, etc.
