“Safe and Simple Balance Techniques for Active Older Adults”
On Wednesday, January 28, 2015 YWCA Bergen County will hold a free Senior Fitness Open House from 11:45am to 2:15pm at 112 Oak Street, Ridgewood, NJ. Open to the public, active seniors can drop in for aerobic and therapeutic fitness classes. Safe and Simple Balance Techniques for Active Older Adults, a special presentation and class instruction, provided by Robin Abrett, will also be offered.
Balance problems are among the most common reasons that older adults seek help from a doctor. Having good balance means being able to control and maintain your body’s position, whether you are moving or remaining still. From 11:45am to 12:15pm, Safe and Simple Balance Techniques for Active Older Adults will explain simple techniques to help improve balance.
