Do you wish you could exercise but just don't feel confident to do so due
to your medical condition? Or do you not know where to start? If you answered
yes to any of these questions, then Aqua-cise could be for you!
Aqua-cise will introduce you to exercise and help you safely improve or increase
your:
|
- Endurance
- Circulation
- Flexibility
- Range-of-Motion
- Coordination
- Balance
|
Aqua-cise is staffed by a certified athletic trainer (ATC) from St. Rita's
Medical Center and is held in our Outpatient Rehabilitation pool. The class
size is limited so the athletic trainer can work with each participant
in the pool. At the conclusion of the class session, you should be able to
participate in an individual or group program and will be provided with a list
of surrounding locations where you may continue your aquatics-based, healthy
lifestyle.
To join
this program you will need to complete a release form and be able to independently
dress/undress and enter/exit the pool. Aqua-cise is run on a monthly basis
from September through May, beginning the first of every month. Classes typically
meet Monday and Wednesday from 5:00 - 5:45 p.m. or Tuesday and
Thursday from 2:00 - 2:45 p.m. (Please ask about current days and
times when calling to register.) A non-refundable fee of $24.00 for
the entire session will be collected at the first class.
St. Rita's reserves the right to cancel sessions if a minimum number
of participants
are not pre-registered.
