Build upper-body strength with exercises focusing on the arms, shoulders, and upper back. Using dumbbells appropriate to their own strength and fitness level, participants will work on building and maintaining muscle to help counter the natural loss of muscle mass that occurs with age. The instructor will guide participants in choosing appropriate weights for each exercise.
Equipment: Use dumbbells appropriate for your fitness level. Participants may use both lighter and heavier weights, e.g., 3 and 5, lbs or 5 and 8 lbs. (up to 10 lbs.), but are not required to use more than one set.
