Fitness Activities
Moving to the Oldies
Line Dance Class with Joanne Brady
Line Dance Class with Joanne Brady
Come dance along to oldies music with our dance instructor, Joanne Brady! Dance, like any form of exercise, benefits seniors in many ways. Regular physical, mental, and social stimulation is the gold standard recommendation for reducing the risk of dementia. Because it involves all three, dancing can be seen as a “triple-threat” option for older adults who want to protect their brains.
Join us on Thursday mornings from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. Classes are $4.00 per person.
Be sure to check the schedule in the lobby as there are days Joanne will not be at the center.

Line Dance Class with Joanne Brady
Wow! What a great time we are having in dance class! Dance affects many areas of the body, including the brain. The combination of cognitive coordination with the muscles is like a complete workout inside out. Our dance instructor, Joanne Brady, is keeping us "stepping". You are guaranteed to get some great exercise while having lots of fun.
Join us on Wednesday mornings from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. Classes are $4.00 per person.
Walk, Walk, Walk
Aqua Cardio Class
Aqua Cardio Class
Watch out in the hallways! Our walkers" are off and walking! Countless studies have linked regular walking with heart-health benefits. Walking has been linked in men and women with lower risks of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cardiac arrest. Even small amounts of walking each week have been shown to reduce these risks around 15% to 20%.
We have some "walking logbooks" from the Division of Services for the Aging in partnership with the Delaware Senior Olympics where
you can chart the miles you walk.
