The exercise session is self-di- rected, with volunteers demonstrating and leading the classes. We alternate between two routines. It is recommended that you try to do at least one session of each routine per week since the two sessions use different muscle combinations. We are presently working with a professional trainer to add a third routine to our repertoire. Detailed descriptions of the routines can be found on our web site.
