Join Paola for a bilingual (English/Spanish) full-body workout class blending aerobics warm-ups with low-impact, modified movements for cancer survivors to help improve flexibility and balance while strengthening and toning your body safely and in a FUN environment.

Equipment Needed:  a stable surface to use as your “barre”, such as a wall, a sturdy chair or a countertop.  You will also need a mat or a carpeted surface for floor work.  A pilates ball is recommended but not required and you could substitute a throw pillow.  You will want something to add resistance such as light hand weights, cans of food, or water bottles.  Gliders will be used for this class and you can use household items such as a sock or a paper plate as your glider.  Be sure to have water nearby and remember to work at your own pace!
