SHAWANO, WI- Shawano County residents will soon have the opportunity to participate in the StrongBodies Program, an exercise initiative aimed at promoting strength, flexibility, and balance for middle-aged and older adults. The program, organized by the UW-Madison Division of Extension in Shawano County, offers classes in Bonduel, Birnamwood, Wittenberg, Shawano, and Tigerton.
Classes are held twice a week and include progressive weight training exercises, flexibility routines, and balance activities. The program is coordinated by Penny Schmitt, who leads the county-wide effort alongside a team of trained instructors. Each instructor has not only been certified in the StrongBodies program but has also experienced personal success through strength training.
For those interested in participating, UW-Extension provides the necessary paperwork and equipment requirements. More information and registration options are available on their website: https://shawano.extension.wisc.edu.
The cost for the program is $25 per quarter, and scholarships are available for those in need.
