The MSU Extension Office in Teton County plans to offer the StrongPeople strength training class in Choteau starting November 1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Class will be from noon-1:00 p.m. and will continue through December 20. This strength training class is a one-hour class, two days a week and will be held at Choteau City Hall. 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. The program, which uses free weights, is adaptable for a variety of fitness levels, and is available to both men and women. The strength training class, taught by Jane Wolery, is for participants who are ages 16-100. A minimum of 10 registered participants is required to offer the class.
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 Extension Office. The first 20 people with completed registration materials are guaranteed a spot in the class. Others will be put on a waiting list. If there is ample interest, a second session may be added at 8:30 a.m.
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 with a variety of daily discussion topics from MSU Extension Family Consumer Science.
