24 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | April 2020 | Everyone should start strength training: people of every sex and gender, the young, the old… everyone. 1. When you're stronger – life is easier. No need to call for help to get that 50 lb bag of dog food off the top shelf, or carrying an air conditioner unit up a flight of stairs. LIFE is easier when you're stronger. 2. Less injury risk – when you build strong muscles, you're also building stronger bones, ligaments, and tendons, making you less prone to injury doing things you love. 3. Helps combat age-related muscle loss, allowing us to remain independent longer as we age: 4. Muscle is harder to maintain, which means you need to eat more just to hold on to it. 5. Reduced pain – having a strong body makes living easier on your joints, as well as allows you to hold a better posture and reduce back and hip pain. 6. Appearance – this is a personal preference! Some women like to have a lot of muscle, and some don't. While you can't spot reduce fat, you can choose to build more muscle in specific areas, changing your body shape. If you don't strength train now, come join the fun. We are a very social group. We enjoy this time together and laughter abounds in the class and in the Bistro (coffee break). We meet every Tuesday and Thursday in the Ballroom at 7:30 am. The class is free!

Now spring has arrived with all its glory. Hope you all have taken time to enjoy the outdoors in our great community. Mornings are still a little chilly though, so why don't you join us "inside" for an early morning walk/aerobics class? Walking and moving is what we do. The class consists of 8 different Leslie Sansone "Walk Fit" dvds. The easy-to-follow routines are set to music with varying tempos. The complete class is four miles, but you can come late or leave early to shorten your routine and work at your own level. A few of the dvds incorporate resistance bands (always optional). Some class members add light hand weights for added strength training. Stop by and give us a try. NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! Class Schedule : Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 7:45 to 8:45 am in The Lodge Ballroom. The class is FREE! For more information, contact Karen Tuvim (316) 260-0847 Come join us for the Cardio & Strength Class taught by Certified Instructor Shannon Ramsey. This class is the perfect way to work on strength, balance and endurance! We use exercise bands and one, two, or three-pound weights to increase our strength and balance, while simple step routines to perfectly choreographed music help build our cardio endurance. Best part… it's completely modifiable to a chair routine so you can work at your own ability level. You should recognize a few faces from yesteryear - what fun…Enjoy!
