Stepping On

The YMCA, in relationship with Western Maryland Health System and HRDC are doing Stepping On classes for seniors.  A Stepping On class can help you avoid a dangerous and costly fall so you can keep doing the things you love to do. In just seven weeks, you’ll learn:​

• To identify and remove or avoid fall hazards both inside and outside of your home
• How vision, hearing, medication and footwear affect your risk of falling
• Strength and balance exercises you can adapt to your individual level
• To get back on your feet the right way if you do fall.​

Did you know...

• 1 in 4 adults 65 years of age and older will fall this year
• Falls should NOT be considered a normal part of the aging process
• Stepping On is a proven program designed to build confidence and reduces falls for adults.​

Classes are open to ALL.  There is NO cost.
