22 Jan SAIL Exercise Class Coming to Muskogee Public Library in February

The Oklahoma Healthy Aging Initiative (OHAI) Northeast Center of Healthy Aging will be providing the Staying Active
and Independent for Life (SAIL) program. The classes will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 a.m. from
Feb. 4 through Mar. 18 at the Muskogee Public Library located at 801 W. Okmulgee in Muskogee.

SAIL is a strength, balance, and fitness program for older adults. Performing exercises that improve strength, balance, and fitness are the single most important activity that adults can
do to stay active and reduce their chance of falling. Each class can be tailored to fit individual needs for any fitness
level and can be done sitting or standing. This class includes warm-up, stretching, cardio, balance, strengthening exercise, and a cool-down.

Instructors provided by OHAI, a program of the Donald W. Reynolds Section of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. OHAI serves all individuals who are eligible for its programs without regard to race, national origin, ancestry, color, religion, sex, age, or disability. The Oklahoma Healthy Aging Initiative is a program of the Donald W. Reynolds Section of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center and is supported in part by a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.

This class is made possible through a grant from the Rural Health Projects Health Promotion grant from the EODD Area Agency on Aging, funded by the Older Americans Act and the State of Oklahoma. Services provided by the Older Americans Act of 1965 have no set fees or charges, but all donations are accepted to defray the cost of services.
