Allegany County Growing Stronger

  • Description:

    Growing stronger is a strength training program for adults 55 years of age and older developed by the Miriam Nelson. PHD, at the Gerald J and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.

    The program involves strength training exercises that have been shown to increase the strength of one's muscles, maintain the integrity of one's bones, and improve one's balance, coordination and mobility. In addition, strength training can help reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic diseases and can help reduce older adults' risk of falling.

    Join friends in your community to become physically active! Participate in a 1 hour strength-training routine twice a week using hand weights and leg weights. Classes are FREE and are lead by trained Growing Stronger Volunteer Leaders.
