Fit & Strong is an evidence-based program that combines exercise and education to help adults improve strength, stay active, and manage arthritis – especially in the hips, knees, and legs.
Fit & Strong is offered in two formats: an 8-week program with three classes each week OR a 12-week program with two classes each week. Classes last about 90 minutes.
Fit & Strong is led by trained instructors who guide each class step-by-step. Instructors have experience working with people at different ability levels and will help you set goals and stay on track throughout the program.
You will receive easy-to-follow handouts, simple exercise guides, goal-setting and tracking tools, and tips to help manage arthritis and stay active after the program ends.
You can expect to build strength, move more easily, reduce pain and stiffness, feel more confident being active, and gain skills to stay healthy and independent.
Registration is simple. Search NDC3.org for upcoming classes in your area or reach out to your local Extension agent for more information.
This program is offered by NDSU Extension and is supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living, Administration of Aging, and granted through the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services, Aging Services Division.
