Combine FUN with FITNESS to increase your cardio-

vascular and muscular endurance while improving

your flexibility and balance. We start with low-impact

aerobics and end with a strength workout using hand-

help weights, tubing and balls.

This exercise program is designed to help decrease stiff-

ness and pain using low impact moves, range of motion

and light hand weights. It is not only for those with Ar-

thritis but also those new to fitness looking to build

strength, stamina, flexibility and balance.

BONE BUILDERS CHAIR YOGA

This strength building class will help you become

healthier, stronger & more active! You will learn to

improve your balance & strengthen your muscles to

accomplish many of your daily living functions.

This is a wonderful way for anyone who has mobility

challenges to be able to experience the benefits of yoga.

The poses are done sitting in a chair stabilizing the pelvis

and hips for easier movement of the torso and arms with-

out fear of injury or strain.

LINE DANCING TAI CHI

AEROBICS ARTHRITIS FITNESS

Join Enita for “Hooked on Country” line dancing and

feel the positive effects in your body and soul as we

have more fun than should be allowed in an “exercise”

experience!

Learn to truly relax and feel good with the moving medi-

tation of Tai Chi. We will all practice together so all will

be more flexible, healthy and strong with more energy

and balance. Wear loose clothing and flat shoes.

YOGA ZUMBA GOLD

Class begins with breathing exercises, chair warm ups

and easy stretching followed by standing and floor pos-

tures to strengthen and align your body promoting flex-

ibility, posture and range of motion.

Like the traditional Latin-inspired Zumba workout, this

workout incorporates many of the dance/fitness routines

set to Latin and international rhythms but is performed at

a lower intensity. Drop in for the fun, return for the burn!

BALLET BARRE

No previous ballet experience required. Attire: comfy exercise clothes & socks or flexible, heelless footwear.

Chairs will be used for stability, balance, and ballet-based movements –all modified for senior flexibility.

3. What building in Clinton Township has the

most stories?

4. A man goes for a walk one afternoon and gets

caught in a rainstorm. Despite not having an um-
