5 Weeks, (Term 2) You will receive emails on Monday mornings with the link to Gretchen’s private YouTube channel, but you can watch these classes at any time. You can also watch each class more than once.
Join experienced instructor, Gretchen Nadeau, for well-rounded exercise classes designed specifically for the older population. You will get a mix of prerecorded classes that are 30 to 40 minutes long. Three classes will be strength and balance and two classes will be cardio only. You will need a set of 2- or 3-pound weights, a small 10" Pilates ball and a sturdy chair without arms; a folding chair works well. There is no need to purchase any equipment if you'd prefer improvising with soup cans for weights and a small pillow instead of the Pilates ball. Half of the class will be standing work and half in the chair. Gretchen strives to bring fun, safe and effective classes to all participants.
