Sixty-minute fitness sessions are conducted by trained and certified community facilitators two to three times per week in local community centers, churches, and schools. Graded activities accommodate young and old, fit and sedentary participants. Workouts to inspirational music create vigorous aerobic exercise and at the same time stretch critical muscle groups. Water aerobics in heated pools also uses music to guide rhythm of activity for a full 60 minutes; persons with hip, knee and leg problems are able to achieve significant gains in fitness without undue stress on damaged muscles and joints.
