Not only is exercise
important to improved
physical functioning, but
the benefit on mental
functioning correlates to
a higher quality of life,
and that is the mission
of the SilverSneakers®
Fitness Program. We
want older adults to
know that a lifestyle
change can happen at
any age. Our members
recognize that they can
have fun while meeting
people and doing
something that benefits
their health.”

Muscular Strength & Range of Movement

Have fun and move to the music through a variety of
exercises designed to increase muscular strength, range of
movement, and activity for daily living skills.  Hand-held
weights, elastic tubing with handles, and a ball are offered
for resistance, and a chair is used for seated and/or
standing support.











Beginning March '09 SilverSneakers® CardioCircuit

Combine fun and fitness to increase your cardiovascular and
muscular endurance power with a standing circuit workout.  
Upper body strength work using hand-held weights, elastic
tubing with handles,
and a ball is alternated with non-impact aerobic
choreography.  
A chair is offered for support, head to toe stretching,
and complete relaxation in a comfortable position.

The focus of the classes is to increase muscular
strength and endurance and range of motion,
resulting in functional improvements in posture,
balance, weight transfer activities, coordination,
agility, and body awareness.  Classes are typically 45
minutes long.  However, classes could range from 45
to 60 minutes depending on the skill level of the
participants.  Classes are taught with a chair for
seated and/or standing support.  A chair will be
available for every participant in the class.  There will
be no floor work options.
