90 Year Old Birthday Party!
The Functional Fitness Workshop will explore and show participants exercises that mimic the movements of daily activities like: walking, squatting, bending, pushing, and pulling. Three key elements of functional fitness for seniors are balance, mobility, and strength. Improving this helps seniors: Reduce the risk of falling; Make activities of daily living easier; Boost emotional health.
Our What’s For Dinner? Cooking for One presentation with Hannah O’Shei, UMass Dietetic Intern, will introduce easy and healthy recipes to cook for yourself. Lunch (soup) will be provided. You must pre-register at the Welcome Center or call 413-773-3646.
