Strength Training for Seniors 60+ (AEES-539)

Strength Training for Seniors 60+  SCOTCH PLAINS
In a strength training class, you’ll be using weights, bands, or your body, in a way that creates resistance. We use resistance to build strength, tone muscle, shed fat, burn calories — and it’s all packed into one workout. As you’re lifting weights, you’re growing new, stronger bones and muscles which can help you to squat down pick something up, get up from the floor or reach your arms overhead to put something in the overhead bin of an airplane.

Qi Gong is similar but is separated into short movements with emphasis on breathing with the motions. Both are low impact exercises which aid in fluidity of motion and overall coordination. Tai Chi movements tend to mimic the movement of water while Qi Gong doesn’t adhere to a single element. There will be frequent short breaks to accommodate questions, rest, and hydration.
