Preguntas frecuentes
What if I have never exercised before?
No problem. As you will learn in this class, it is never too late to start and this class will have information for every level of participant. You will learn that even walking or incorporating simple lifestyle activities like taking the stairs can help you be healthier and more independent as you age.
What happens if I fall behind on the material?
No worries. You can take this class with the rest of the participants each week or you can take it at your own pace. It is fun to be a part of an active learning group because the real-time discussions on the forum are lively and educational. However, if going at your own pace works better for you, go for it. The class material will remain accessible to you for an extended time after the official end date of the class.
