POMEROY–The Stay Active and Independent for Life (SAIL) classes will begin at the Senior Center on Tuesday, September 27 at 1:15-2:30 p.m.

The Garfield County Health District once again brings back exercise classes designed to strengthen, improve balance and enhance fitness for adults 65 and older. Each Tuesday afternoon, this nine-week course will provide a scheduled routine of physical activity indoors where the environment is always good, no matter the conditions outside.

Research has found as a person ages, they experience muscle loss which contributes to possible injury through a fall. Utilizing fitness programs such as SAIL can help reduce the chances of a fall, which accounts for 30% of all age-related injuries. In addition, exercise not only improves physical mobility and strength, but also mental and emotional well-being.

Class size is limited to eight, so please call the Health District at 843-3412 to reserve a spot.
