As the new year rings in once more, bringing with it fresh goals, many people take this time to reflect and set healthier habits and goals for themselves. For aging populations, it’s an opportunity to explore wellness options that support longevity and vitality. This winter, the City of Woodbury Parks & Recreation supports these goals with Live 2 B Healthy classes at Central Park. Recreation technician Jennifer Anderson shares more about each class.
Strength & Balance Class: In this popular class, participants build balance, flexibility and strength to reduce fall risks. Equipment includes bands, loops and mini-balls, all of which are used to improve coordination and muscle mass.
Tai Chi for Seniors: Arthritis and Fall Prevention: “With its low-impact, adaptable approach, this program helps seniors stay active, independent and engaged in daily life,” according to the City of Woodbury. This class, which guides participants through rhythmic postures, is created for individuals with arthritis or concerns about falling, but it is safe for all fitness levels.
