MONROE - The Green County Home and Community Educators (HCE) along with the Behring Senior Center will be hosting a StrongWomen program Wednesday.
Angela Flickinger, Rock County Family Living Agent, RD, MPH, PT will teach about a program that can help people to be strong enough to keep doing the things they've always done, and enjoy doing.
The program will be held from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Wednesday, in the lower level/basement of the Behring Senior Center, Monroe.
Developed by Dr. Miriam Nelson and Rebecca Seguin, MS, CSCS, both of the Center for Physical Activity and Nutrition at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. The StrongWomen training programs are designed to help women become or stay fit, strong, and healthy.
The program will address a few issues facing seniors facing the following questions:
• Are you 60 years of age or older and have been relatively sedentary for the past few years;
• Are you concerned about progressive muscle weakness and poor balance;
• Are you interested in starting a safe and highly effective strength training program to improve muscle strength, body composition and overall fitness.
Refreshments provided, and the event is free and open to the public.
Call the Green County Extension office at 328-9440 to let them know you're coming.
