Description

The Westerly Hospital Offers StrongWomen Program in Westerly

Beginning May 14, 2012, The Westerly Hospital will again offer StrongWomen, a supervised exercise program to help women over 50 maintain muscle mass and preserve bone strength.  Class sessions are available at either 5:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. at 45 Wells Street, Suite 101, in the hospital’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Center.  Cost for the twice-weekly, six-week session is $48.  Leading the program is an exercise physiologist from the Cardiac Rehabilitation Department at The Westerly Hospital.
 
StrongWomen is a safe and effective program designed to improve strength, balance, muscle mass, bone density, and overall well being.  The StrongWomen program features easy-to-follow exercises using simple equipment -- a five-minute warm-up, eight to twelve safe and simple exercises, and a five-minute cool down.
