Announcing NEW   

Exercise Class  

"Reshape Your Workout" 

 

Saint Elizabeth Bariatric Program is proud to announce a new Exercise Class to be held at the hospital. This is to help those who have had weight-loss surgery stay on track and develop your own workout routine.

   

We all know how important physical activity is in our daily life to be healthy. It is also an important component of weight management.  Many of us struggle with incorporating regular activity into our daily routines, and we need all the support we can get.

 

Our goal is to help reshape your workout so it is designed for you. This includes:

  • getting you started with gentle movements  
  • providing support and fellowship  
  • exercises designed for any fitness level from the beginner, intermediate or advanced
  • utilizing simple workout equipment - medicine balls, resistance bands, etc. 
  • progression and regression levels for every exercise - you will be monitored for an appropriate level of exercise during workouts
  • making exercise and activity fun and beneficial at any level of fitness - with the emphasis on FUN!
