Fit and Fall Proof session to begin |
|
January 5, 2017 |
The Bonners Ferry Senior Hospitality Center,
6635 Lincoln Street, will begin the winter
session of the 12-week “Fit and Fall Proof Class”
beginning Monday, January 9.
The class is specifically targeted for older
adults or anyone who would like to improve their
fitness or who has a history of falling or a
fear of falling. The class will take you safely
through a process of improving strength,
flexibility, mobility, balance and endurance.
The instructor is Karen Meeker, a physical
therapist and a Feldenkrais® practitioner. Based
on her knowledge of movement and the importance
of attention in learning to move more easily,
participants will be addressing functional
topics such as posture improvement, coming up
from sitting to standing, reaching for the
floor, coming up from the floor, reaching into a
cupboard, turning to look behind you in your car
— all those activities that typically become
more difficult with age.
During this process, those attending will learn
strategies to help you ease pain and discomfort,
prevent injury, increase energy, reduce stress
and improve concentration.
With the use of music and other “toys,” the
sessions are fun and engaging. Do we stop
playing because we get older or do we get older
because we stop playing?
Come play and learn at the Senior Hospitality
Center on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from
10:45 to 11:45 a.m.
