About the event
In this free workshop, Cathy Turner will provide participants with exercises and stretches to help strengthen the muscles in their arms, legs, back, and hips. These exercises help maintain muscle mass, improve mobility, and reduce fall risk. Cathy will discuss the purpose of strength training and its importance in overcoming or slowing down conditions that primarily affect adults as they age, such as sarcopenia (muscle loss), osteopenia (bone loss), and obesity. Modifications to exercises will be demonstrated to meet your ability. Wear comfortable shoes so you can participate! Attendees will receive a free exercise band.
