Fitness, Fun & Friends

Hibbing Parks & Recreation is offering a new program this fall to promote healthy life styles.

Designed with the fairy-active or active older adult in mind, this class is programmed to maintain or improve physical capacities necessary for an active life-style and positive quality of life. These capacities include flexibility, strength, balance coordination, and cardiovascular capacity and endurance. Easy, rhythmic, low-impact movement and great music add to the enjoyment of this workout. “Listen to your body” and stay within your personal comfort level.

The goal is “health-span,” not merely “life-span.” A healthy life-style involves physical well-being, mental well-being, and social and emotional well-being. The FITNESS, FUN, AND FRIENDS program strives to improve each of these areas.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT: Two pound hand weights, optional ankle weights. Mat for optional floor stretching. (Stretches can also be performed seated.) Stretch bands, small balls, and large balls are provided.

Dates: September 11 - November 29
No Classes: November 29
Day: Tuesday and/or Thrusday
Place: Memorial Building Community Senior Center
Time: 1:30 - 2:30 p.m.
Fee: $2.50 per class - (you may register for all the days or just Tuesdays or Thursdays)
