Agility, Balance, Core Strength Class

The ABC class is part of the “Little Moves Big Result” series that’s low-impact (no floor exercises) and is designed for the beginner- to intermediate-level senior. In this class, we will work on agility training, balance drills, core strength, proper posture position, weights, bands and wobble cushions. This is a 45-minute class taught by Christy Zilka, a certified personal trainer specializing in Senior Fitness. Zilka has just completed two books to help seniors keep moving while watching their favorite TV program and morning stretches to do in bed before starting the day. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes and bring water. Silver Sneakers and Silver and Fit members are encouraged to attend; class cost could be waived once verified.
