The class level will help you determine the best class for your needs; however, other factors should be considered when choosing a class. For example, while step is considered low impact, adding power moves as is done in Step Cardio increases the impact.

To receive most benefit from our classes, attend aerobic and flexibility classes at least three times a week and strengthening classes at least twice a week.

When first attending a new type of class, please exercise at a moderate pace to reduce the chance of muscle stiffness and risk of injury.

Please discuss class options with your instructor or Aerobics Coordinator Nancy Gitlin; they will be happy to help choose the best class for you.

If you have a pre-existing medical or physical condition, please:
·

Consult your physician and/or physical therapist before attending new classes.

· Speak with the class instructor to discuss modifications to use in class and get information about the class you wish to attend.
·

Lower the resistance or do fewer repetitions.

· Discontinue the exercise and speak to the instructor if a particular exercise aggravates your condition.
