The village said the class starts Sept. 17 and runs every Tuesday until Nov. 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the New Lenox Public Library (Meeting Room B), 120 Veterans Parkway.
The class is designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults, the village said. Participants learn to set realistic goals to increase activity, change their environment to reduce fall risk factors, and learn simple exercises to increase strength and balance.
