Strong Bodies Strength Training Program

StrongBodies is an evidence-based strength training program designed to help adults build strength, balance, and flexibility to help prevent injuries from falls, slips, strains, and sprains. The 12-week program includes progressive resistance training, balance training, and flexibility exercises. Classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from September 9th to December 4th from 10:00 -11:30 am, and are led by Davis County Extension faculty. The program is free and open to adults ages 18 years and older.

Registration ends September 2 at 8 pm.

The program helps participants progress to a level where they are stronger, more flexible, and have better balance. This is achieved by increasing resistance (e.g., weight) and decreasing reliance on assistance (e.g., chair) to perform key exercises with dumbbells, ankle weights, and a floor mat. All equipment is provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. All abilities are welcome, as this program helps you progress at your pace and activity level (with lots of encouragement, of course!).

You will be encouraged to track your progress throughout the program using a provided tracking sheet. Upon registration, you will receive an email about a voluntary informational session that you can attend to learn more about the program and ask questions. Even if you can't make the session, we'll email everything to you afterward.
