Functional Fitness & Core Conditioning
This resistance training class will strengthen muscles, build bone density, and reduce the risk of falling by improving agility and balance. We begin with a warm-up and low-impact cardiovascular exercise. We then strengthen the body's major muscles using dumbbells, tubing, balls, and other equipment. Some of these exercises are done standing and some on the floor. Helen Newman Hall Dance Studio.
Jazzercise Lite
The original aerobic dance class keeps getting better! Have fun while improving stamina, cardiovascular health, flexibility, and balance. Low impact and easy to learn - you will love Jazzercise! There is no floor work in this class. Helen Newman Hall Dance Studio.
Ripples
Gentle movement in both shallow and deep water is ideal for relieving joint pain. Water’s resistance strengthens muscles while buoyancy makes this refreshing workout low impact. Helen Newman Hall Pool.
Cardio Classic
Aerobics like you remember! Fun music and a variety of formats. There are no floor exercises. Helen Newman Hall Dance Studio.
Pilates
Slow and controlled endurance training builds a solid foundation of spinal stability, posture, and core strength. An emphasis on breathing and body awareness reduces stress. Helen Newman Hall Dance Studio.
Staying Strong
The Fitness Center in Helen Newman Hall offers a variety of cardiovascular and strength training equipment. This class offers the opportunity to have someone nearby in case you have questions while you exercise. We suggest following an exercise program that is personalized, safe, and effective. It is also beneficial to rewrite that program every few months, or whenever there is a change in medical status. Helen Newman Hall Fitness Center.
Yoga Iyengar style
This class encourages students to explore the precise anatomical
placement and alignment within each yoga posture at a pace that allows for
an intelligent rigor. Students are guided to observe and learn from their
individual strengths and challenges. Emphasis is placed on the importance of
inner awareness and clarity as personal resources for yoga practice and for
life. Attention to safety and a curiosity for learning are promoted in a
class environment of self and mutual respect. Helen Newman Hall Classroom.
