My insurance includes $100 off of the YMCA fee or other approved health club fees. I joined the Y mainly for the deep water jogging classes and the fact that I can do that type of workout at other times early in the morning. I went to 2 Silver Sneakers classes, both had good instructors. It looked like the age range was between the mid-sixties to 80s. For weights, they were doing between 1 - 5 lbs, well below what I usually use. The cardio, balance and stretching seemed good for beginners. the elderly and those with limited mobility etc.
If I wanted to do the pool and Silver Sneakers' classes, I would have to wait for an hour in between the two. I guess I would fit into the age range at almost 77, but they are not for me just yet. I have more videos than I care to admit to and thus have the ability to enjoy the flexibility and freedom to adjust my routine however I wish on any particular day. |
