Enhance Fitness 

EnhanceFitness participants overcome the obstacles of living with arthritis and revitalize their well-being within a safe community of support through the Y. Participants enjoy the supportive network of friends, creating a strong sense of belonging and encouraging a collective commitment to sustained healthy habits.

 

Individuals in the EnhanceFitness program experience improved physical strength, increased flexibility, better balance, enhanced cardiovascular fitness, and reduced arthritic pain, leading to an empowered sense of more independent living for arthritis suffers.

EnhanceFitness uses simple, easy-to-learn movements that motivate people with arthritis to stay active throughout their life. The program is often facilitated by someone with arthritis and is conducted in a small, supportive group setting.

 

The program is made possible through generous donations to our annual giving campaign.

NUTRITION TIP OF THE MONTH

We naturally lose muscle as we age so maintaining what we have is important! Getting enough protein can help slow or stop muscle loss. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for healthy younger and older adults is 0.8 g/kg of body weight. However, some experts suggest that getting 1.0-1.6 g/kg of body weight is beneficial for older adults to slow the loss of muscle mass.
