Providence offers Strong For Life options during pandemic

Providence Health Education: Strong for Life  3.0

Staying active as we age can have many benefits, including improved health and stamina, sharper thinking, reduced stress and better sleep. If you haven’t been active, it is not too late to start! Strong for Life 3.0 was developed by Providence PT’s with adults who are sixty plus in mind. Strong for Life 3.0 is an easy to follow routine designed to improve balance, strength and flexibility. Participants follow a 45 minute DVD, choosing one of three levels and using therabands for an individualized workout.
