SILVERSNEAKERS EXERCISE CLASS
|
| The Oxford Area Senior Center
has contracted with Healthways Health Support, LLC to be
a host site for their Fitness Program.
Healthways SilverSneakers Fitness Program is a comprehensive
older adults physical activities program that addresses
the needs of the 65+ year old population. Muscular Strength
& Range of Movement is the core class of this Program
and the focus of this creative multi-level conditioning
exercise class.
The Program is normally offered to seniors who contract
with Blue Cross for their health coverage. However, due
to our large membership base and the number of seniors participating
at our Center, we are allowed to offer this beneficial program
to our members who don't have Blue Cross.
There is no cost other than a commitment to good health
and well being. Stop in with your friends and try an exercise
session and begin a healthier you.

AQUATIC FITNESS "SeniorFit"
|
|
In conjunction with Ware Presbyterian Village,
we have developed an Aquatic Fitness program called "SeniorFit".
This initiative allows our participants the use of WPV's
newly constructed Aquatic Fitness Center located across
the street from our Center. Ware's Fitness Directory, Molli
Hoover, will design a program to fit the needs of each individual
senior participant. While there is a small cost to participate
in this program, Ware has agreed to charge our seniors the
same fee as residents of their village. WPV can also be
easily accessed by the Chester County Rover Transit buses.
The exercise program will focus on the areas that provide
the greatest benefit: Strength, Balance, Flexibility and
Endurance.
