The Recreation Department is working with a new Instructor to start offering the Stretch and Strength Aerobics class again. The class is set to start on Tuesday, October 8 and run until mid-December with a break in between when the Instructor will be out of town. The course will focus on strengthening principles to give the participants a well-balanced full body workout. This fun, basic level class is for building and maintaining strength and is designed for folks who are working with low level 1-4lb hand weights. Sessions include a ten minute warm up, 40 minutes of strength conditioning and a 10 minute cool down stretch. The Tuesday classes are from 9:00-10:00am and the Thursday classes are from 9:15-10:15am at the Miners Hall. We need a minimum number of registered participants to commit to the class before we can accommodate drop ins. Please call our office to register!
