ENHANCE® FITNESS
Ages: older adults & individuals with arthritis
The Enhance Fitness program is a proven, evidence-based program community-based senior fitness and arthritis management program. It helps older adults become more active, energized and empowered for independent living. Expect a safe, casual atmosphere that encourages social interaction, which is a vital part of health and well-being, and then add an energetic, certified instructor, and the result is a fun and lively program that works.
LIVING WITH PARALYSIS F.E.S. BIKE
Ages: 9th grade through adult
The Y strives to reach out to everyone regardless of physical ability. The F.E.S. bike stands for Functional Electrical Stimulation and this exercise mode addresses a need of people with neurological impairments. These bikes provide an exercise option for people with M.S, Parkinson’s, Spinal Cord Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Brain Injury, Stroke, and Benign Tremors. Through Controlled pulses of electrical current, peripheral nerves are stimulated which results in muscles contracting and moving the cranks on the bike. Dynamic motor support in the bike is integrated with the electrical stimulation to ensure patterned activity regardless of individual’s muscle strength or ability to move limbs. Some benefits of using the F.E.S. bike include but are not limited to: reversal of muscle atrophy, improved local blood circulation, increased range of motion, reduced muscle spasticity and neuromuscular re-education. The Sheridan County YMCA is the only facility in the area that has F.E.S. bikes for public use
