Living Strong is a weekly bone-building exercise group. It provides strength training using hand and leg weights, balance exercises for agility and to decrease the likelihood of falls, and flexibility exercises for joint mobility. ​The program was originally created at Tufts University. Each class is guided by participants in the exercise group as a shared activity. The class meets 2x per year with a physical therapist who provides guidance. 

​

This program will have a "hybrid" structure, in that Mondays will be in person and Thursdays via zoom (for individuals who wish to join zoom AND have learned the exercise form in-person).  This structure may change in the future as the group's needs change.  Classes (both in-person and zoom) typically take place on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.  The cost for participation is as follows -- payment for each 10-week session: 

-$50 (attending in-person & zoom possibly)
-$20 (attending only via zoom, permission needed)

​

The in-person group prefers that individuals register for the full session, though drop-in payment is possible at a rate of $8/class. Please contact Coordinator Ruby McAdoo at 802-387-5593 or coordinator@putneycommunitycares.org for more information or to join the group.
