Did you know that it's recommended that older adults complete 150 minutes of physical activity per week?

That includes light to moderate intensity activity. As we get older, tasks and activities of daily living can become more challenging. Exercise can help improve cardiovascular health, bone density, cognitive function, muscular strength and more!

At the Center for Athletes, our athletic trainers and exercise physiologists develop training programs that incorporate aerobic training, strength training, balance and flexibility. We offer programs ranging from 1 to 4 training sessions per week. Please call 603-749-6686 and select option 1 to register for the Center for Athletes.
