The Sussex County YMCA has recently started indoor groups classes that have been beneficial to mature adults that range from the early Elvis years to early Carol King years (baby boomers). This older energetic community are looking to stay limber, calm, balanced with perhaps a moderate workout. The National Institute of Health states balance declines even at 40 to 50 years of age. A discouraging report is that one in three people over 65 will experience a fall each year. However, this number can be reduced with some exercise programs. Popular classes for this group are the Chair Yoga and Better Balance classes. Many members found joy in meeting familiar faces before the COVID closures. Coming back too are group Aqua Aerobics that are scheduled for the pool .

It was reassuring that life is moving forward to a "be safe" normal of great lessons. The Sussex County YMCA is at 15 Wits End Dr, Hamburg, NJ 07419 Phone (973) 758=9039
