ABOUT LIFETIME FITNESS

The Lifetime Fitness program is offered at Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor, in the JCPenney Court, and virtually, over Zoom. Classes are designed for senior adults, however everyone is welcome!

  • Chair Aerobics classes are carefully structured to include a warm-up, pre-aerobic stretch, sitting and standing aerobics, strength training, cool down, and a final stretch.
  • Chair Yoga, a gentle form of yoga that is practiced sitting on a chair, or standing using a chair for support. Benefits of chair yoga include improved strength, flexibility, mental clarity, reduced stress, and pain management.
  • Strength, Stretch, & Balance is a total body workout. The exercises will focus on the entire body to improve strength, balance, stability, and flexibility. Exercise bands or 1-5 lb weights recommended, however not required.
  • Zumba Gold - you will dance to a fusion of Latin and international music at a modified intensity. It's a fun experience and great workout for all the elements of fitness: cardiovascular, muscular conditioning, flexibility, and balance. Then we'll move on to exercises which focus on the entire body to improve muscle tone, balance, stability, and flexibility. Exercise bands or 1-5 lb weights recommended, but not required. Participants may also use household items such as socks or nylons for resistance, and cans of food, laundry detergent, or water bottles for weight. No experience necessary!

Make sure to check in with the instructor if you are joining the program for the first time so we can get some information, sign our liability waiver, and discuss modifications!
