Many individuals experience a “fear of falling” as they age. This can result in shuffling, fear of leaving the house, or participating in everyday activities.

The goal of these sessions will be to give participants more confidence and provide core strength needed to complete day-to-day activities. Activities will include, practicing weight shifting, discussing obstacles, and identifying walking issues. Exercises will use Pilates techniques, therabands and weights. Each weekly session will be dedicated to a particular aspect of strength and balance. Cost is $50. Registration is online at www.wcparksandrec.com. Registration code #16165.
