The New Weight Training Class

Our unit has started a new weight training class, which is held every Wednesday from 5 – 6 pm in our 5th floor mezzanine. This class was started to help our community learn resistance training techniques and also to spark interest in fitness throughout the house. We meet and discuss the different muscles of the body, proper warming up and stretching techniques, and then resistance training machines and free weight exercises. It has been going well. Members and staff have been attending from the Wellness unit and other units along with our Interpreter’s corner. Our plan is to expand the number of fitness related classes available to our community such as stretching, yoga, meditation, dance, and possibly pilate’s.
