| OHCC LIVING | AUGUST 2024 | 47 Calorie Free Happy Hour! If you are interested in improving strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and overall body conditioning, then you may want to consider attending an aerobics class to see if it fits your needs. This is an all-standing, low-impact class… NO JUMPING! The instructor leads each class in a warm up session followed by the aerobic portion, and then she does a cool down. Light weights are used for the last 10 minutes of the class. Occasionally, there are a few exercises for balance and an easy dance for fun. Classes are available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in Abravanel Hall from 10 to 11 am with instructor Christine Alesiani. You can choose the number of classes each week that you would like to attend. (There is no class available on the second Wednesday of each month.) The cost is $5 per class paid directly to the instructor. You may pay for and try two classes without joining the club. The annual club dues are $6 (please make the check payable to OH Aerobics). ~ Written by Margie Raisigel Aerobics The Senior Fitness Club offers residents two exercise classes with three professional instructors four times a week. Our highly qualified Instructors are Cheryl Todd, Monday and Wednesday, Tatis Cervantes-Aiken on Tuesday, and Jennie MacGoy on Friday. These classes are low-impact exercise, including balance and coordination, flexibility, range of motion, stretching and strengthening. Chair Yoga Class: The Chair Yoga exercise class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:15 am to 12:15 pm in the Hall, and sometimes in the new Lanai to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. You spend most of the class sitting in the chair, and then 15 minutes or so behind the chair, so you practice balance. The cost is only $5 per class attended after joining the Club for only $5 for the entire year. The first class is FREE, so you can try a class yourself first, and see if it is a good fit for you. Chair-To-Mat Yoga Class: The Chair-to-Mat exercise class meets each Tuesday from 8 to 9 am. You are 30 minutes in the chair and 30 minutes on the mat. You must provide your own mat. This instructor, Tatis, is a resident of Ocean Hills and does not charge for this class, but you must join the Senior Fitness Club to participate for only $5 a year. This class meets in the Lamia Room.
