Staying Active and Independent for Life (SAIL) is a strength, balance and fitness program for older adults. Performing exercises that improve strength, balance and fitness are the single most important activity that adults can do to stay active and reduce their chance of falling. Each class can be tailored to fit individual needs for any fitness level and can be done sitting or standing. This class includes warm-up, stretching, cardio, balance, and strengthening exercise, as well as a cool down.
