Uxbridge Senior Center Eight Week Exercise Programs

The Uxbridge Senior Center is proud to present two different exercise programs for an eight-week session: 

Balance & Power Exercise Classes: this exercise is a lightweight strength circuit with gentle movements to improve flexibility. Most exercises will be seated with a focus on improving muscle strength especially around the knee area which is crucial for balance and walking and hopefully avoiding falls. Some poses can also be done standing using a chair for support. This program can help improve your flexibility, concentration and strength, while boosting your mood, and reducing stress and joint strain. The program will begin Tuesday, October 21 from 12:15 p.m.-1:15 p.m.

Move & Grove Exercise Classes: this fitness program fuses entertainment and cardio into an exhilarating workout. The benefits of this program include improved balance, range of motion and coordination. Additional benefits include increasing blood flow to the brain, enhancing attention and concentration skills, as well as burning calories and meeting new friends! The program will begin Tuesday, October 21 from 1:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m.
