I had already started to research Yoga for oldies (I would call it Yoldga) and will look into Silver Sneakers as well.allwaysinfashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351565252580853058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573099143532398301.post-59157927404235123792017-11-22T09:03:35.327-06:002017-11-22T09:03:35.327-06:00As the resident of an active adult community, I ha...As the resident of an active adult community, I have access to a gym with great equipment at no cost beyond my home owners' dues. But I rarely use it. Instead I take exercise classes ... mostly yoga and pilates but also a strength class. It is interesting that when I do go to the gym I see men using the strength building equipment but the strength exercise class is all women. You might be surprised at how much easier it is to go when you have a definite time. <br /><br />My strength teacher does classes for LA Fitness also although they are much harder than what she does for us. Still you may be able to get a free membership through Silver Sneakers and work at your own level. I have a SS membership for when my regular teachers are not available. <br /><br />LA Fitness also has yoga classes that are included with your membership. You will probably have to try out different instructors to find the right fit. The only disadvantage I noticed is that the classes there are very large and not intimate and friendly like my regular yoga class. You might consider a monthly membership at a yoga studio instead.<br /><br />Yoga changed my life. When I started at age 65, I had knee and hip pain. Within six months the pain was gone. I even measure a little taller due to better posture. I go to class half an hour early to pre-stretch and enjoy the company of the other yogis. There are lots of types of yoga. I do Vinyasa Flow. If you can find the right class as to type and level, you will probably find that exercise is something you look forward to doing. I do five or six exercise class a week. In my opinion, exercise classes are a better option for women.HoldenToddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980263258968398993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573099143532398301.post-91371844658384343632017-11-21T20:29:04.498-06:002017-11-21T20:29:04.498-06:00Me too.
