Senior Exercise (50+)

Exercise is important at every age! Check out all the senior exercise and programming event descriptions below.

Chair Exercise: This class is a functional aerobic workout that is done using a chair to either sit in or use for balance. Chair exercise is a challenging workout for everyone that will increase your heart rate, burn calories, and build strength. If you have arthritis or just need to start a regular exercise routine, this class is for you.

Chair Volleyball: Please join us in the Basketball Gym at The Rec at The LakefrontTM. More fun than you can possibly stand – while seated! Come enjoy this fun-filled game played with a beach ball. Chair Volleyball is great for upper body mobility and joint flexibility. It enhances muscle tone, reflexes, hand-to- eye coordination, and endurance. Rules are similar to regular volleyball, except we keep “cheeks on the chair!”

Fitness Class: Join us for this high energy strength, core, and balance workout at the Rec at the LakefrontTM. Instructors Shelley and Adrian will get your heart pumping and face smiling. You must have a Senior Center membership to attend. Due to the popularity of this class, the first 35 participants that sign up at the front desk at The RecTM will be able to attend.
