Starting March 25th, the StrongWomen StrongBones program will be held twice weekly at the Savage Senior Center. Participants will meet Tuesday and Friday morning from 10AM-11AM to exercise and socialize.
StrongWomen is a research-based strength training program for elderly women that has shown to increase muscle mass, improve balance and confidence, and increase bone mass. This free 10-week program was held in Sidney last fall. Participants learned how to correctly use dumbbells and ankle weights, and performed a variety of exercises for their arms, back and legs. Participants also reported increased strength, flexibility and coordination at the end of the 10-week program. While most women started with two pound dumbbells, most were able to lift 4 or 5 pound weights at the end of the program.
