EICC/SCC: Functional Fitness 8-Week Series

Scott Community College will be offering a new fitness class that could benefit anyone pursuing fitness to maintain or begin enjoying a more active lifestyle at age 55 plus. The series meets once a week for eight weeks and you can choose to enroll in the Class ID that fits your meeting schedule.

The class is called “Functional Fitness,” and is a type of training that prepares the body for real-life movements and activities. This low impact class will include moderate cardio, strength training with integrated functional moves using dumbbells, bands and body weight. This workout translates to benefits beyond calorie burning. It mimics everyday movement patterns. The majority of these exercises recruit various muscles through multi-joint movements as you work the body through several planes to improve balance, cognition and confidence.

The class has a successful track record over 20 years. With a Certified Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer. We start with a warmup, progress to the workout, move on to a cool down and stretch to increase flexibility.
