Forever Fit - Free Wellness Program sponsored by the Dana Home Foundation - Forever Fit Winter Info Meeting
Being out of shape can mean different things at different ages. As we age and muscle loss accelerates, we may begin to notice that “we can’t do what we used to do” easily. Difficulty bending, walking upstairs, carrying groceries, weight gain, overall fatigue, or just slowing down are some of the signs that may indicate the need to build muscle and incorporate heart healthy exercises into our daily life.The Forever Fit Program will teach you how to develop strength, increase flexibility, improve balance and agility, build up endurance and reduce stress. There are three components to this program: individual assessments with the instructor, group instruction 2 times a week, and when necessary, personal training sessions offered by our expert, Carolyn Gregoire. Classes will be held on Mondays and Thursdays at 1:15pm. We use a variety of fitness disciplines and provide exercise modifications to empower you to succeed at your appropriate fitness level because getting back in shape can happen at any age!The Forever Fit Info Meeting will be held on Monday, January 6th at 1:15pm in room 139 at the Community Center. If you decide to commit to the program and would like to enroll after attending the Info Meeting, we will handle the registration for you!*Preference will be given to Lexington Residents; non-residents may register if space allows.For questions or more information, please contact Carolyn Gregoire at carolyngregoire@comcast.net

Osteofitness with Beverley Ikier and Kerri Powers - Osteofitness Winter Hybrid
Instructors: OsteofitnessTM is led by two certified and experienced instructors, Ikier and Kerri Powers. Ikier trained with Miriam Nelson and has been teaching this class for twenty years. Ikier is a CPT and BCTMB. She has developed a program that can be performed at any fitness level and modified as needed.Powers is the owner of Fitness Together in Lexington, Massachusetts and brings years education and experience, along with providing detailed instruction for every exercise.Description: OsteofitnessTM is a natural approach to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. This program is specifically designed to build bone density, and prevent fall and fracture. The recovery rate of an osteoporotic fracture is poor, ranging from needing assistance with ambulation, needing assistance with the tasks of daily living, to a 30 percent mortality rate. Thus, it is essential to take steps to prevent osteoporotic fractures.OsteofitnessTM has proven to be successful in improving bone mineral density (BMD) in osteopenia and osteoporosis, along with preparing seniors to strengthen, and maintain independent and active lifestyles. This holistic approach to osteoporosis treatment includes, specific topics such as targeted strengthening to major osteoporotic sites, instruction for bone health, balance and posture, osteoporosis education, bone-health nutrition, stress management, and personalized instruction from Beverley Ikier.Chronic stress has been shown to inhibit bone growth. Stress reduction and relaxation are taught in every class for this reason. Research has also identified four essential nutrients calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin k are needed to maintain healthy bones. Ikier also teaches how to incorporate these nutrients into your diet, and provides instruction on how to avoid foods unhealthy for bones. OsteofitnessTM Perks: Unlike comparable programs, OsteofitnessTM provides supplemental instruction through the use of perks. These perks include a free 20-minute consultation with Ikier to discuss your bone scan, email coaching from Ikier, four bone-healthy recipes each month, an educational newsletter, two instructional videos you can access on-demand, and bonus material.

Osteofitness with Beverley Ikier and Kerri Powers - Osteofitness Winter Hybrid
Instructors: OsteofitnessTM is led by two certified and experienced instructors, Ikier and Kerri Powers. Ikier trained with Miriam Nelson and has been teaching this class for twenty years. Ikier is a CPT and BCTMB. She has developed a program that can be performed at any fitness level and modified as needed.Powers is the owner of Fitness Together in Lexington, Massachusetts and brings years education and experience, along with providing detailed instruction for every exercise.Description: OsteofitnessTM is a natural approach to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. This program is specifically designed to build bone density, and prevent fall and fracture. The recovery rate of an osteoporotic fracture is poor, ranging from needing assistance with ambulation, needing assistance with the tasks of daily living, to a 30 percent mortality rate. Thus, it is essential to take steps to prevent osteoporotic fractures.OsteofitnessTM has proven to be successful in improving bone mineral density (BMD) in osteopenia and osteoporosis, along with preparing seniors to strengthen, and maintain independent and active lifestyles. This holistic approach to osteoporosis treatment includes, specific topics such as targeted strengthening to major osteoporotic sites, instruction for bone health, balance and posture, osteoporosis education, bone-health nutrition, stress management, and personalized instruction from Beverley Ikier.Chronic stress has been shown to inhibit bone growth. Stress reduction and relaxation are taught in every class for this reason. Research has also identified four essential nutrients calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin k are needed to maintain healthy bones. Ikier also teaches how to incorporate these nutrients into your diet, and provides instruction on how to avoid foods unhealthy for bones. OsteofitnessTM Perks: Unlike comparable programs, OsteofitnessTM provides supplemental instruction through the use of perks. These perks include a free 20-minute consultation with Ikier to discuss your bone scan, email coaching from Ikier, four bone-healthy recipes each month, an educational newsletter, two instructional videos you can access on-demand, and bonus material.

Right Brain Curriculum - Lego Adventures - Right Brain Curriculum - Lego Adventures
Are you a Lego master? If so, it’s time to show off your skills! Each week in Lego Adventures, there is a new challenge to build: From skyscrapers to farms, bridges to airports, space stations to main streets, and everything in between! First, our Right Brain Curriculum instructors will review the history of what we are about to build: How airports graduated from landing strips to vast travel networks, how Depression-era farms survived hordes of grasshoppers, how aeroelasticity explains why the Tacoma bridge nicknamed “Galloping Gertie” collapsed. Then, it’s time to build! You will create a model of each type of structure out of an enormous assortment of provided Legos, then present your creation as we photograph and document it. Learning and Legos: A perfect match!

This holistic approach to osteoporosis treatment includes, specific topics such as targeted strengthening to major osteoporotic sites, instruction for bone health, balance and posture, osteoporosis education, bone-health nutrition, stress management, and personalized instruction from Beverley Ikier.Chronic stress has been shown to inhibit bone growth. Stress reduction and relaxation are taught in every class for this reason.

Right Brain Curriculum - Lego Adventures - Right Brain Curriculum - Lego Adventures
Are you a Lego master? If so, it’s time to show off your skills! Each week in Lego Adventures, there is a new challenge to build: From skyscrapers to farms, bridges to airports, space stations to main streets, and everything in between! First, our Right Brain Curriculum instructors will review the history of what we are about to build: How airports graduated from landing strips to vast travel networks, how Depression-era farms survived hordes of grasshoppers, how aeroelasticity explains why the Tacoma bridge nicknamed “Galloping Gertie” collapsed. Then, it’s time to build! You will create a model of each type of structure out of an enormous assortment of provided Legos, then present your creation as we photograph and document it. Learning and Legos: A perfect match!

Osteofitness with Beverley Ikier and Kerri Powers - Osteofitness Winter Hybrid
Instructors: OsteofitnessTM is led by two certified and experienced instructors, Ikier and Kerri Powers. Ikier trained with Miriam Nelson and has been teaching this class for twenty years. Ikier is a CPT and BCTMB. She has developed a program that can be performed at any fitness level and modified as needed.Powers is the owner of Fitness Together in Lexington, Massachusetts and brings years education and experience, along with providing detailed instruction for every exercise.Description: OsteofitnessTM is a natural approach to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. This program is specifically designed to build bone density, and prevent fall and fracture. The recovery rate of an osteoporotic fracture is poor, ranging from needing assistance with ambulation, needing assistance with the tasks of daily living, to a 30 percent mortality rate. Thus, it is essential to take steps to prevent osteoporotic fractures.OsteofitnessTM has proven to be successful in improving bone mineral density (BMD) in osteopenia and osteoporosis, along with preparing seniors to strengthen, and maintain independent and active lifestyles. This holistic approach to osteoporosis treatment includes, specific topics such as targeted strengthening to major osteoporotic sites, instruction for bone health, balance and posture, osteoporosis education, bone-health nutrition, stress management, and personalized instruction from Beverley Ikier.Chronic stress has been shown to inhibit bone growth. Stress reduction and relaxation are taught in every class for this reason. Research has also identified four essential nutrients calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin k are needed to maintain healthy bones. Ikier also teaches how to incorporate these nutrients into your diet, and provides instruction on how to avoid foods unhealthy for bones. OsteofitnessTM Perks: Unlike comparable programs, OsteofitnessTM provides supplemental instruction through the use of perks. These perks include a free 20-minute consultation with Ikier to discuss your bone scan, email coaching from Ikier, four bone-healthy recipes each month, an educational newsletter, two instructional videos you can access on-demand, and bonus material.

Right Brain Curriculum - Lego Adventures - Right Brain Curriculum - Lego Adventures
Are you a Lego master? If so, it’s time to show off your skills! Each week in Lego Adventures, there is a new challenge to build: From skyscrapers to farms, bridges to airports, space stations to main streets, and everything in between! First, our Right Brain Curriculum instructors will review the history of what we are about to build: How airports graduated from landing strips to vast travel networks, how Depression-era farms survived hordes of grasshoppers, how aeroelasticity explains why the Tacoma bridge nicknamed “Galloping Gertie” collapsed. Then, it’s time to build! You will create a model of each type of structure out of an enormous assortment of provided Legos, then present your creation as we photograph and document it. Learning and Legos: A perfect match!

Osteofitness with Beverley Ikier and Kerri Powers - Osteofitness Winter Hybrid
Instructors: OsteofitnessTM is led by two certified and experienced instructors, Ikier and Kerri Powers. Ikier trained with Miriam Nelson and has been teaching this class for twenty years. Ikier is a CPT and BCTMB. She has developed a program that can be performed at any fitness level and modified as needed.Powers is the owner of Fitness Together in Lexington, Massachusetts and brings years education and experience, along with providing detailed instruction for every exercise.Description: OsteofitnessTM is a natural approach to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. This program is specifically designed to build bone density, and prevent fall and fracture. The recovery rate of an osteoporotic fracture is poor, ranging from needing assistance with ambulation, needing assistance with the tasks of daily living, to a 30 percent mortality rate. Thus, it is essential to take steps to prevent osteoporotic fractures.OsteofitnessTM has proven to be successful in improving bone mineral density (BMD) in osteopenia and osteoporosis, along with preparing seniors to strengthen, and maintain independent and active lifestyles. This holistic approach to osteoporosis treatment includes, specific topics such as targeted strengthening to major osteoporotic sites, instruction for bone health, balance and posture, osteoporosis education, bone-health nutrition, stress management, and personalized instruction from Beverley Ikier.Chronic stress has been shown to inhibit bone growth. Stress reduction and relaxation are taught in every class for this reason. Research has also identified four essential nutrients calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin k are needed to maintain healthy bones. Ikier also teaches how to incorporate these nutrients into your diet, and provides instruction on how to avoid foods unhealthy for bones. OsteofitnessTM Perks: Unlike comparable programs, OsteofitnessTM provides supplemental instruction through the use of perks. These perks include a free 20-minute consultation with Ikier to discuss your bone scan, email coaching from Ikier, four bone-healthy recipes each month, an educational newsletter, two instructional videos you can access on-demand, and bonus material.

Right Brain Curriculum - Lego Adventures - Right Brain Curriculum - Lego Adventures
Are you a Lego master? If so, it’s time to show off your skills! Each week in Lego Adventures, there is a new challenge to build: From skyscrapers to farms, bridges to airports, space stations to main streets, and everything in between! First, our Right Brain Curriculum instructors will review the history of what we are about to build: How airports graduated from landing strips to vast travel networks, how Depression-era farms survived hordes of grasshoppers, how aeroelasticity explains why the Tacoma bridge nicknamed “Galloping Gertie” collapsed. Then, it’s time to build! You will create a model of each type of structure out of an enormous assortment of provided Legos, then present your creation as we photograph and document it. Learning and Legos: A perfect match!
