The goal of Bodies 'n Motion is to make your life more pleasurable by increasing your ability to participate in the daily activities that you most enjoy.

This is accomplished through a structured program of physical exercise, movement and education that results in an increased ability to participate in your favorite activities.

Bodies 'n Motion is adaptable to your personal needs and abilities. You will have the opportunity to improve your range-of-motion, your flexibility, your strength, your balance, your coordination, and your lifetime skills -- such as fall recovery techniques.

Participants will be able to track their progress via key health indicators that are evaluated each 8-week session.
