Movement supports brain health, builds strength, boosts mental well-being, and contributes to overall health. It does not have to be a scheduled exercise class, though it certainly can be. Choose an activity you enjoy that gets you moving, try a dance class, a walking group, or even an exercise class.
Heritage Commons Senior Enrichment Center offers many options to help you get up and move:
Strong Bones, offered Mondays and Thursdays at 10:00 am, uses repetitive movements with weights while standing or sitting. The class is designed to strengthen the body, improve fitness, and support bone density to help prevent osteoporosis.
Move Well classes, offered Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 1:00 pm, guide participants through a variety of exercises using weights and bands while standing or sitting, followed by a calming cooldown.
Cardio Drumming, offered Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1:00 p.m., gets your heart pumping with upbeat music, drumming, and movement. Participants of any ability level can join in by grooving and moving, even from a chair.
Tai Chi, offered Wednesdays at 2:30 pm, helps participants focus on breathing, movement, relaxation, and stress relief.
Yoga, offered Thursdays at 11:00 am, includes gentle stretching for the mind and body and welcomes beginners and participants of all abilities. Every class can be adapted for sitting or standing, depending on each person’s comfort and ability.
Line Dancing is offered every Tuesday, with advanced dancers at 10:00 am and beginners at 11:00 am.
Free Dance, offered Fridays at 11:00 am, gives participants the chance to move in whatever way feels good—practicing line dancing, dancing freely to fun music, or simply enjoying the tunes.
Exercise benefits not only your body, but also your brain. Heritage Commons offers many activities that keep your mind active, including Yahtzee, dominoes, mahjong, sewing, knitting, Pinochle, and social lunch. Our billiard tables are available during all open hours, giving you a chance to exercise both mind and body.
