Active Older Adults
Active older adults are one of our greatest resources. We know that they are seeking a comfortable place to stay active, a sense of community and a desire to strengthen social ties. For good reason: socializing and volunteering have been shown to have positive effects on the health of older adults, and exercise has proven to promote mental agility, in addition to longevity and good health. Programs & activities for active older adults include:
Wellness Programs: We offer fitness programs for older adults such as group exercise, yoga and stretching classes, and walking clubs.
Water Exercise: This class has it all! Motivation, aerobic choreography, muscle conditioning, improved cardiovascular endurance and muscle tone by using the buoyancy and resistance of the water. Great workout with no impact or harmful effects on joints/muscles and stay cool. Ideal for all fitness levels, non-swimmers included.
Social Opportunities: Make new friends at the Y as you join a book club, bridge club, or lunch club.
SilverSneakers®: SilverSneakers® is a preventative exercise program that enhances the quality of life for mature adults across the country. One of the largest senior-focused exercise program in the United States, this partnership between HCD and HMOs allows Medicare-eligible members of these these health plans to participate in YMCA programs at no additional cost.
