Healthy  Aging

• Strong Women Program

The Strong Women Program is based upon years of research on how strength training and proper nutrition improve the health of women of all ages. Resistance training, strength training, and weight lifting generally refer to exercises in which the muscles in the body move against some type of opposing force that is provided by various types of equipment or participant's body weight. The benefits of strength training are numerous and include increased strength and muscle mass as well as improved balance, flexibility, bone and joint health, and sense of well being in adults of all ages.

This is a "must" for older adults, families and caregivers of older adults, or anyone preparing for a future care giving role. This speaker's series addresses the complex issues of aging and is a collaborative effort between CGCC and OSU Wasco County Extension.
