Water Walking - Join Lori Mathews as you discover the benefits of water walking. The water provides resistance, making your muscles work harder to move forward and provides buoyancy, helping reduce strain to your joints. Changing your water walking routine keeps it interesting while allowing you to work different muscles as part of the exercise. This 45-minute class is offered Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 10:05 a.m. Cost is $4 per class or $40 for a 10-punch pass.
