Seniorcise is a low-impact exercise class that is offered every Tuesday and Thursday. The class is targeted to improve cardiovascular health and flexibility for the seniors through activities such as dancing, toning, and stretching. The class is taught by two students and the nurse is available to monitor. A computer class is offered every Monday. Basic computer skills are taught as well as the instruction of Microsoft Works and the Internet.
Students teach the class and are available throughout the week for additional help.
As programs have evolved, students have taken leadership to teach and responsibility to manage programs. Students have expressed an increase in their leadership, organization, and communication skills. Students have both reflection journals and portfolios. When the program began in October 1995, only two seniors attended regularly. The program now services over 160 seniors from five different areas.
