Exercise Classes

This is an eight week behavioral change exercise class.   Participants will be expected to have a yoga mat and stretch bands for the class.     In each class the instructor will lead appropriate exercises for flexibility, strength, and aerobic stamina. Safety and fitness level of the participants will be a determining factor for the exercises conducted in the class. All participants will complete a ParQ survey before the first class to identify any risks that would prohibit the person from joining.   It is expected that the participants will continue some form of exercise on additional days of the week outside of the weekly class.   Participants will keep an exercise log to track Frequency, Intensity, and Duration of the exercise sessions. Because the sessions will be conducted in a designated room in the company it is important that the room be large enough to accommodate the number of people.   The floor should be covered if possible. Participants will be instructed to wear comfortable slacks and sneakers

Another option for an exercise class is a Walking Program. A walking program would require a suitable and safe walking path.   Indoor alternative space would need to be available in case of inclement weather.   Participants would utilize a pedometer to measure their steps and track them in a log.
