Upcoming Presentation: Senior Health & Fitness
We are currently organizing our next session focused on Senior Health and Fitness for later this summer. Are there any specific subjects you'd like us to cover? If so, please contact me via email - gillianrowan@aol.com. Stay tuned—we’ll share more details as soon as they are finalized!
Class Schedule & Instructor Updates
Please note the following temporary changes to Jill’s classes:
Wednesdays (9:30 AM at Kapiolani Park): Nalani Fitzpatrick will be subbing for the Senior Women’s Strength & Conditioning class.
Fridays (9:30 AM at Kapiolani Park): Laura Anderson will be covering Jill’s sessions.
Jill’s Return: Jill will be back in action starting June 13th for the remainder of the summer and early fall.
Rainy Day Policy
Don’t let the weather dampen your progress! In the event of inclement weather, your instructor (Nalani, Laura, or Jill) will email you directly to notify you if the class is being canceled or moved to Zoom.
Mastering Zoom Classes
Consistency is key for strength, balance, and agility. If you haven’t tried our virtual classes yet, they are easier than you might think:
No Account Needed: You do not need a Zoom account to join; you only need the link we provide.
Joining: Click the link sent by your instructor on the morning of your class.
Setup: Once the video opens, click the Camera and Microphone icons so we can greet you!
During Class: We will ask you to mute your microphone once we begin so everyone can hear the instructor clearly.
It’s human nature to find reasons to skip a workout, but remember: your future self will thank you for the work you do today.
As a reminder: The CDC recommends the following for seniors:
150 minutes of cardio training (brisk walking/swimming/cycling)
2-3 strength training per week
2-3 days of balance and agility exercises per week
