On-Site Assisted Living Exercise Programs with Ruth Balestra:
We come to your facility, providing the exercise program, any necessary equipment and music. Participating as a group, in a fun and lively atmosphere, residents perform exercises that utilize stretch and strength training movements while seated at all times for safety and steady balance.
Ruth currently runs a Stretch and Strength program on site at Maridian Arms, The Allterra Sterling House, and Sunrise Assisted Living. She has also taught classes at Marian Living Center, and the Commons at Greenbriar.

NON-AEROBIC FAVORITES:
BODY STRENGTHENING
Using weights, balls and bands we strength train all the major muscle groups to achieve a toned and sculpted look as well as stronger bones.
PILATES
Through the use of your mind, body and breath, you will be taught qualitative “core-conditioning”. The stomach, back and glutes will be the target of your “core”. This class will help you achieve toned muscles, flat abs and improved posture that will help you achieve a leaner look. This class is perfect for those afraid of aerobics!
