Strength Training w/Annalisa: Strong muscles, Strong bones:
Annalisa's strength training classes will be held on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:50-10:50. . This isn't anything you would find at your local gym. Participants cycle around eight stations, each with its own menu of lifts or exercises that you can choose among. You determine what you can perform, and track your own improvement. Each station has options to accommodate your personal needs, quirks or challenges. Four of the stations will have "slow sets." This is lifting done very slowly, to challenge every muscle fiber involved, but not to stress the joints. The "core work-out" stations will include a kettlebell option (check it out on Youtube!) and a TRX-type of option. Bone strengthening exercise is something we all need, and we'll make it fun, with good music, in a supportive, non-competitive atmosphere. No prior experience is necessary. End with a thorough stretch, and you're good-to-go for the afternoon.
