Exercise Classes

The exercises classes for the Young at Heart group are held on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. The 8:00 AM class is held in the Physical Therapy Department at the Rainbow Medical Plaza building, just North of the hospital. The 2:00 PM class is held in the hospital cafeteria. Both classes are full body workouts, with heart strengthening exercises, weight lifting and stretching. We are always adding new exercises to the routine and we are now working out for approximately 45 minutes. Participation is based on the ability of each individual—if you get tired it is acceptable to sit down. The dress is casual and tennis shoes are recommended.

There is a requirement that you have a release from your physician that will allow you to participate in the exercise class.

Regular exercise is very important in order to stay heart healthy.
