The programs offer a variety of water aerobics and land fitness classes to meet individual <br />goals – and many have a “try for free” option in early January. <br /> <br />Water aerobics classes range from shallow-water aerobics to <br />deep-water fitness, to meet one’s preferred level of intensity. <br />Classes can be customized for special needs such as <br />arthritis, pre/post-natal, or recovery from an injury. Land <br />fitness classes include total body workout, Pilates and slow <br />and easy fitness. Any first, water aerobics class is free. <br /> <br />Many one-day, try-for-free classes are offered in land fitness <br />classes, such as Total Body Workout, Nia Dance/Movement, <br />Slow and Easy Fitness, and Arthritis Land Exercise. Try-for- <br />free martial arts classes include Tai Chi and Chair Yoga. In <br />addition, residents can try for free Beginning Line Dance. <br /> <br />Check out the paper or online Winter Spring Recreation Guide <br />for a complete list of try- for-free and water aerobic fitness <br />classes. Classes are ongoing and held at City pools and community centers.
