Strength & Balance with a touch of Funk
For the summer, our amazing Instructor Lisa King will be offering a modified class of "Strength & Balance with a touch of Funk" on Friday mornings instead of Tuesday afternoons.
She will up the beat only slightly by adding a touch of Funk during this 6-week session, but the "Strength and Balance" emphasis will continue which refers to a combination of muscular power and the ability to maintain stability and control over your body position, essentially meaning having strong muscles that also allow you to stay balanced during movement.
According to Lisa...Movement is medicine! Join this fun, dynamic class. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your muscles, build bone, support your joints, or improve your balance...this class is for you. Movement sequences are thoughtfully designed to safely and gradually explore therapeutic movements that will improve your quality of life. Strength training can be done with or without small hand weights. Much of the class can be done from a chair or from standing, and all are welcome! Expect an eclectic mix of movements including therapeutic exercise, strength training, balance development, gentle agility training, and just a touch of Funk that will focus on a bit of simple repetitive exercise sequences, with dance elements as tolerated by participants.
Please bring: small hand weights if you have them, a yoga mat, sneakers and/or non-skid socks and a water bottle.
