Free 4 week Strength building program
Thursday 9 a.m. Sept 4th, 11th, 18th, & 25th
The focus of this four week long program is not fall prevention but how to get up from a fall safely. You will learn how to move across the floor and to stand up safely. You do not need to be able to get up from the floor to participate.
During the first 45 minute session, each participant will be given a strength and fitness assessment. In the next 3 sessions each participant will perform strength training exercises based on their own fitness level. The exercises will focus on giving you the strength you need to GET UP after a fall.
You will learn exercises you can do at home after the program is over. You will receive an individualized take home program of exercises designed for you by certified personal trainer, Louise Vassay, CPT.
The sessions are designed as a unit so plan to attend all four sessions. Participants will not be getting up and down from the floor in class.
