Think you can't take advantage of cross-training because of your age? Think again. Raquel "Rocky" Herron, Fitness Manager, and Gavin Sullivan, Sports Manager and Pearce Strong instructor, have put together Senior Strong, a cross-training class designed for member age 50 plus.

This one-hour class will feature cross-training techniques tailored to mature adults to help them gain greater strength, endurance, and flexibility to perform everyday tasks with ease. Squats will strengthen legs which will help improve ability to climb stairs and sitting to a couch or toilet; overhead press exercises will make it easier to reach overhead to get something out of a cabinet; and stretching and mobility exercises will improve range of motion to be able to reach down and pick something up off the floor.

The class is free to member 50 plus and will meet six times: August 9, 11, 16, 18, 23, and 25, 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. Registration is not required, just show up and Rocky and Gavin will help you increase your fitness level.
