Community Health Education Success Story :
One participant of Strong Living and Strength Training Maintenance said these classes have helped her lose over twenty pounds. She had never exercised before this, and now she's in her early 70's and walks regularly, along with working out with weights. This healthier lifestyle has led her to make healthier food choices as well. She was recently able to shovel a load of small landscaping rocks around her house, and paint parts of her house, thanks to her higher energy level. She credits her classes at Elliot Hospital with helping her improve her strength and endurance.
