The
MSU Teton County Extension Office plans to offer the StrongPeople strength
training class in Choteau starting April 8 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Class
will be from 8:30-9:30 a.m. and will continue through May 29. This strength training class is a one-hour
class, two days a week. Participants work
through a series of weight-lifting and strength-training exercises. Strength training improves: muscle mass, strength, balance, bone density,
arthritis symptoms, metabolic rate, glucose/lipid profiles and mental
health. The class is based on research
from Dr. Miriam Nelson of Tufts
University
Please call the MSU Teton County
Extension for registration packet and information about the StrongPeople class.
The StrongPeople class does require a series of paperwork, including medical
release forms. The registration packets
can be mailed or emailed to potential participants, as well as picked up at the
Teton County Extension Office. The first 25 people with completed registration
materials are guaranteed a spot in the class.
Others will be put on a waiting list.
Participants of previous classes
have reported a variety of improvements, including relief from chronic pain,
improved strength, increased sleep quality and an uplifted mental
attitude.
The StrongPeople participants will
get an educational bonus as daily discussion topics will be from the Small Steps to Health and Wealth
book. Behavior change strategies will be
taught, in addition to strength training.
It will be two classes for the price of one and both are free!
