Reply #10: My YMCA is filled with seniors of all different weights and abilities. [View All]

I am a SAHM and go during the early morning. It is hard to get a tread mill, bike, (though the Arc Trainers and elliptical machines are usually free) or weight machines (Free weights are yours for the taking) because so many seniors are using them. The local Y works with Humana and has lots of programs for seniors of varying abilities. Then at 12 they have potluck. My 3-year-old loves it, lots of attention. Probably once a week I see a new senior (or senior couple) taking a tour. If you use the pool in the AM you will see George leading some kind of aqua aerobics with 15 (at the minimum) senior women and a couple of men (lol, George is a pretty handsome 50-year-old)

I don't know the answer to your question, but from what I see at the Y, at the very least, there are about 25 every day getting 30 minutes minimum of exercise. Can this be bad in any way?
