SENIOR H20 AEROBICS Geared specifically for those over age 60, these low-intensity classes are held in the shallow end of the Downtown Y pool and are perfect for the new exerciser or those with limitations. The resistance of the water provides muscle strengthening and cardiovascular qualities, while the buoyancy offers mobility due to light weightedness. |
