The Strong Women Program
The Strong Women Program envisions a worldwide community of women who are fit, strong and healthy. In turn, those empowered women will become positive agents of change for their families, communities and beyond.  Staying physically active and being properly nourished are two of the most important things we can do to stay healthy for life. Strong Women™ is strength training primarily for women, but also for men, and was developed by Dr. Miriam Nelson at Tufts University. The Strong Women™ Program is based on years of research on how strength training and proper nutrition improve the health of women of all ages. "Strength is a critical factor in living healthier, more active lives. Our research shows that a program of strength training not only improves bone density but reduces falls, improves arthritis symptoms, and increases flexibility and strength," states Dr. Nelson. The program is appropriate for both sedentary and very active women. Contact glenda.wentworth@eaglecounty.us for more information on classes.
