Title: YMCA Living Strong Living Well Program
Post by: andzigallery on October 02, 2010, 04:18:09 pm

Here is something else I found out while taking a few yoga classes at Gilda's Club, the Ridgewood, NJ YM/YWCA offers free strength-training classes geared for cancer patients and survivors called Living Strong Living Well.  This program which is sponsored by  the Ridgewood YM/YWCA is a strength and fitness program developed by Stanford University.  It is a 12-week program recommended for adult patients who are in or have recently completed their cancer treatments.  The program's primary goals are to empower cancer patients or survivors, improve functional capacity, and increase quality of life through an organized program of fitness and strength.  LSLW is a free YMCA community service program and participants are enrolled as Triangle members at no cost.  If you live in Northern New Jersey area and would like to find out more about this program visit: www.ridgewoodymca.org and look for the Community Programs tab.
