SilverSneakers® Training Workshops Attended

Kevin Weaver and I attended the training sessions for the SilverSneakers

Muscular Strength and Range of Movement (MSRM) class and SilverSneakers Cardio Circuit class this weekend.  We drove down to Emeryville (near the UC Berkeley campus in the Bay Area) on Saturday afternoon, stayed at the Hilton Garden Hotel, then attended the training workshop on Sunday at In Shape Fitness Center from 9-5 pm, and then returned to Red Bluff (a 3 hour drive).  The excellent course trainer was Donna Horwitz. 

I learned a great deal about leading a SilverSneakers Muscular Strength course for older adults and seniors.  The training manual was useful, and I got a DVD with a master lesson for each course.

I will be substitute teaching in Kevin's SilverSneakers classes when he needs to be out of town.  I hope to teach two Muscular Strength classes of my own starting in August.   

Kevin was an enjoyable and interesting companion.  He is a Taijiquan and Qigong Master.  He teaches many fitness classes at the Tehama Family Fitness Center, and is a Personal Fitness Trainer. 
Funding support from the Tehama Family Fitness Center made our attendance at these training workshops possible.
