SENIOR CIRCUIT TRAINING This class is circuit training

with exercises modified for older adults.

Friday

SILVER DRUMS Geared towards those 55 and up, this choreography will focus on strength, coordination and of course lots of smiling!

SILVERSNEAKERS® CARDIO Get up and go with an

aerobics class for you—safe, heart-healthy and gentle on the joints.

The workout includes easy-to-follow low-impact movement, as well as upper-body strength, abdominal conditioning, stretching and relaxation exercises designed to energize your active lifestyle.

SILVERSNEAKERS® CLASSIC is designed to increase muscle strength, range of movement and improve activities for daily living. A chair is used for seated exercises and standing support and class can be modified depending on fitness levels.

SILVERSNEAKERS® YOGA is designed to give participants the benefits of yoga, with breathing and flexibility work, using a chair for seated exercises as well as a balance tool for standing work.

STRETCH Stretching exercises will help create better circulation, plus

help reduce risk of injury. Taking an hour to stretch allows the instructor to slowly stretch all of the muscles in the body and hold the stretches longer to gain more benefit.

ZUMBA® GOLD An easy-to-follow class that lets you move to the beat at your own speed. Zumba Gold® is done at a lower intensity than Zumba® but is still an invigorating, community-oriented dance-fitness class.

THE BIG COUNT IS COMING!

Help Lakewood Count in Census 2020!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO YOU? Equal Representation It’s your Constitutional right to be counted for fair representation in Congress, and an accurate count affects your representation in local government, too.

Better Community Census data helps build our future. New roads, businesses, schools, emergency services and more depend on a complete count of residents.

Fair Funding Census data determines the flow of millions of dollars of funding into the community to pay for needed programs and services. An accurate count of all residents ensures we receive our fair share.

Watch for your Census 2020 invitation—coming early next spring! Respond online, by phone or mail.

By law, your personal census data cannot be released to any other government or law enforcement agencies. It’s safe, it’s easy— and it’s important.
