As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass, so it is important to practice strength training to maintain, if not increase, muscle mass. Strength/resistance training helps to build bone density, protect joints from injury, contribute to better balance and ability to do daily activities, not to mention burning calories and keeping our bodies lean. This class will teach basic foundational strength exercises with a focus on repetition, proper form, and encouragement to gradually lift heavier weights than you may be used to.

PAR-Q & You

Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.

If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. The PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor.

Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions. Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly: Select YES or NO for each question.

Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor? *

Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity? *

In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity? *

Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness? *

Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity? *

Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition? *

Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity? *

If you answered YES to one or more questions

Talk with your doctor by phone or in person BEFORE you start becoming much more physically active or BEFORE you have a fitness appraisal. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q and which questions you answered YES.
