MPCA Fitness
Our fitness classes continue through June 26 then take a break until we’re
back moving in September. You can enjoy a free exercise and/or Tai-Chi try-out class
at any point in a session. Start your fitness journey now by popping over to the
hall any Monday or Wednesday morning in June.
Just wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat if you have
one to put under your chair. You won’t be getting down on the floor, only your mat
will! You will be practicing in bare feet or socks, no special shoes required.
These drop-in only classes are held in the Upper Hall from 11:15am
to 12:15pm on Wednesdays (except the fourth Wednesday of each month) and cost $10
per class. For more information, please contact Catharine at [email protected] or 587-897-5887.
Exercise
Class For All Fitness Levels: The last class at the hall is Monday, June 22. Zoom classes will continue
Wednesday, June 24 and Friday, June 26. People of all ages are welcome
in the MPCA exercise class, whether you want a low, moderate, or high intensity
work out. The classes are designed to improve aerobic fitness, balance, strength,
and flexibility. You can sign up for one, two, or three classes per week or come
on a drop-in basis. The cost is only $7 per class when you sign up for the remaining
classes in the session or $12 per class drop-in.
Classes are held from early September through
late June with a break from mid-December until after the New Year. Monday and Wednesday
morning classes are held from 10:15 to 11:00am and Friday morning classes are from
9:30 to 10:15am (Zoom only).
If you are new to the class, please come to
the hall initially to allow the instructor to assess your fitness level and speak
with you about your goals. Zoom is a convenient way for people who work from home
or have children to get in a workout during the day without leaving home. If you’re a fan of high intensity burpees,
mountain climbers, lunges and much more, this class may be just what you’re looking
for.
If you’d like a more laid-back class to increase
your fitness level or just get in some physical activity, you can accomplish that,
too. The instructor accommodates all fitness
levels with easier and more challenging variations to meet all goals.
If you would
like to try a free class to see if this program meets your
needs, contact Linda at [email protected]. Just dig out some comfortable exercise
clothes and shoes, dust off any weights and resistance bands at the back of your
closet, and pop over to the hall for a fun and energetic time.
Tai-Chi: The last class for this session is Wednesday, June 24. Tai-Chi classes
happen in the Upper Hall on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9:00 until 10:00am.
Monday classes focus on beginners while Wednesday classes are for returning students.
Everyone, regardless of age and experience, is welcome both days but additional
attention is not offered to new students on Wednesdays.
Tai-Chi is a great way to improve your balance,
flexibility, memory, and concentration. If you would like to try a free class to see if this program meets your needs,
come to the hall for a Monday morning class. Sign up for one or both classes each
week or come on a drop-in basis. The cost depends on the number of people enrolled
but is usually around $3.50 per class if you sign up for the session or $6.00 per
class drop-in.
