We can remain
healthy, vital, and attractive as we age, or we can suffer from the many health
problems associated with poor lifestyle choices. Although genetic
predispositions have a strong influence, our health greatly depends on how we
choose to care for ourselves. This women’s class will build a supportive
environment to help each participant develop practical nutrition, exercise, and
healthy lifestyle strategies. We’ll focus on the motivation that is essential
for making lasting positive changes. We’ll discuss preventing and managing many
common age-related problems such as weight gain, loss of vitality, heart
disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis, and cancer. We
will also discuss problems specific to women such as PMS and menopausal
symptoms.
All classes will be held in a campus classroom. We will discuss exercise strategies and focus on aerobic exercise for cardiovascular health. (This class will not include strength-training instruction. Strength training classes are available spring semester.)
