Strength Training, an Introduction

Many people shy away from strength training, thinking it takes too much effort – but it doesn’t have to. If your doctor has been encouraging you to get started, here’s your chance to be a good patient and give it a try. Bring a pair of 2- or 3- lb. weights (or even 2 cans of soup), a mat, and a resistance band. If you don’t have a band, they’ll be available for just $4. Join this introductory class as we put on some music and spend around 35 minutes exploring a simple, fun strength-training routine designed to build muscle and support bone health.
