St. Joseph Mercy Oakland (SJMO) has expanded its free Senior Fit program to six sites throughout Oakland County. Registration is being accepted for the free programs, which are geared for adults age 55 and up.
Senior Fit is aimed at improving stamina, lowering blood pressure and decreasing the risk of osteoporosis among senior adults through regular exercise. The program uses chair and floor exercises that build strength and flexibility, help maintain strong bones, control body fat, reduce stress and improve an individual’s sense of well-being.
