Evening Water Aerobics Class will be starting Monday July 22

Consider the following if you are interested in taking a water aerobics class:

What water aerobics does for you: Water workouts give you moderate fitness. Because water is 12 to 14 times thicker than air and offers resistance in every direction, these classes can give you great muscle tone.

The exhaustion factor: Low. Most people won’t find water aerobics as hard as land-based aerobics. Although water is thicker and therefore harder to pull through than air, water really is a gentler medium. Still, look for an occasional water workout to get you off your feet and to give your muscles a balanced workout.

The coordination factor: Low. You’re forced to move so slowly that you have time to think about each move.

Who digs water aerobics: Anyone who likes the water, has injuries, or is in physical rehab. Water workouts are a terrific cross-training activity for runners, cyclists, and maniac aerobicizers. Water workouts are also great for pregnant women, older people, and people with multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, or other degenerative diseases because moving through the water is much easier on your body.

Tai Chi classes at the Twin Lakes

Wellness Center begin July 24th

Be introduced to exercises that are considered to be excellent for relaxing, improving one’s health, and achieving a better quality of life. Research is confirming what the Chinese have known for upwards of a 1,000 years: with consistent practice improvements in balance, flexibility, range of motion and breathing can be seen fairly quickly. Tai Chi and Qigong are simple exercises that can help you be:

• more flexible

• stronger

• less stressed

• less likely to fall

The movements in Qigong can reduce stress and increase self awareness, posture, balance and coordination. This reduces your chance of falling.

The movements in Tai Chi flow from one to another and can also increase balance and flexibility. The parts of our body can learn to work together.

No previous experience is required. Age does not matter and each of you can do this in a safe and comfortable way.

Classes Starting Wednesday, July 24, at 10 a.m. Members are $2.50 non- members are $5 a class or register for all six classes for just $25.
