Extension offers strength and balance class
April 29, 2020
Fairbanks Cooperative Extension agent Leslie Shallcross will lead a free StrongWomen
class by distance delivery, beginning May 4.
The five-week class will meet by Zoom Mondays and Wednesdays at 3 p.m. through June 3. Developed by Tufts University, the StrongWomen training seeks to improve mobility, strength and bone density, and decrease falls, especially for mid-life and older individuals.
The class is designed for women of all skill levels. Participants will use their own hand weights and leg weights. Preregistration is required at https://forms.gle/Znr88A7VxbH9Nmjz7 to receive the Zoom link.
