Senior Chair Fit The Dallas Texins Activity Center has begun an exercise program focusing specifically on the needs of seniors. This class is designed for anyone wanting to stretch, strengthen and work on balance. It is ideal for someone who is looking for a supportive environment in a class that does not include high impact exercises. Instead it teaches a wide range of moves from a seated position or standing position using support. Hand weights, exercise tubes/bands and balance bars are provided. If you are looking for a class that combats osteoporosis, this is it. Come enjoy the soothing assortment of music, great people and a supportive atmosphere. The class meets every Thursday from 10:15 to 11 a.m. There is no cost for members of Texins. Contact Kazette Dickerson, 214-567-9151 at the Dallas Texins Activity Center.
