Fit and Fall Proof (Library! at Collister)

Come join us at the Library! at Collister for a FREE Fit and Fall Proof program (FFP)! The program focuses on functional fitness—improving your ability to do everyday tasks. Muscle strength and flexibility play a primary role in balance and maintaining physical activity. Strengthening your muscles will make it easier to do the things you want to do—lift a grandchild for a hug, get out of a chair with ease, or climb stairs without puffing.

Brought to you by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare Physical Activity and Nutrition Program (PAN) in conjunction with Central District Health Department.

“No one is too old to enjoy the benefits of regular physical activity.... [M]uscle strengthening exercises can reduce the risk of falling and fracturing bones and can improve the ability to live independently.” ~Physical Activity and Health: A Report of the Surgeon General, 1996

Held Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:15 a.m.–10:00 a.m. at the Library! at Collister from May 6 through June 19. Classes are free, but registration is required. Stop by the library or call 562-4995.
