Community Strength Training Program for Women!
The White County Cooperative Extension Service will be offering the StrongWomen Program, a 12-week exercise program for middle-aged and older women, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at the old Carder Buick Building on Hawkins Drive in Searcy. Classes begin October 11, 2010.
The participant fee for this program is $12.00.
The series will be led by Katie Cobb, a certified Strong Women instuctor who has taught Strong Women classes for 5 years.
The StrongWomen Program was developed at the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. The StrongWomen Program is based upon years of research on how strength training and proper nutrition improve the health of women of all ages. Research shows that a program of strength training not only improves bone density but reduces falls, improves arthritis symptoms and increases flexibility and strength. The program is appropriate for both sedentary and very active women.
All participants will need program packets by October 4. Please pick up packets at the Extension Office (411 N. Spruce St., Ste. 9, in Searcy), or call 501-268-5394 for more information. Informational meetings will take place October 4 and 6.
