"Fit For Life" Program
Youth. It's that magical time of life when you have plenty of energy for work, play, and socializing. You feel strong and vibrant, like no challenge is too great. At Downtown Fitness and Aerobics, we may not have found the fountain of youth, but our Fit For Life program can help you recapture some of the energy and vitality that may have slipped away over the years.
Fit For Life is a specialized wellness program for older adults that focuses on strength, core conditioning, as well as flexibility and balance...all the things we seem to lose as we age. There is an optional aerobics class right before the Fit For Life class meets, if you want to add a fun cardio component to your workout. Research shows that exercise is a key component in maintaining ones' health and independence in later years. Flexibility, balance and core training are essential aspects of that exercise program.
Fit For Life is designed as a fun way of exercising, and all fitness levels are welcome. The aerobic classes and the flexibility, balance and core classes combined with strength training are a fun way to stay "Fit For Life"! Anyone interested learning more about the program can contact the Senior Advisor at Downtown Fitness and Aerobics, or ask any staff member at DFAC.
