| Increase Your Strength With Weights! |
| Hi friends!
Join us online today at 1:30pm EDT for a special Wellness Wednesday exercise session:
Weight Training for Strong Bones and Muscles
Lifting weights is a proven method for building and maintaining muscle mass and bone density as we age — and getting started doesn’t have to be an intimidating task! Join 64-year-old 2023 Senior Planet Sponsored Athlete, Della Adams, as she shares her amazing fitness story and provides the inspiration you’ll need to give weight training a try.
Bring your dumbbells or alternative weights (canned goods, water bottles, books, etc.) and get ready to break a sweat!
See you online,
