Building a Sustainable Fitness Routine
Tuesday, October 27, 12:00-12:45pm
Zoom
What does it really mean to build a fitness routine that you can sustain for life? Taylor Getz, owner of True Barre Lawrence, will explore how consistent movement and healthy habits can support strength, mobility, balance, confidence, and overall well-being at every stage of life! We’ll discuss how building a sustainable routine can help us age well, reduce injury risk, feel more comfortable and confident in our bodies, and support our mental well-being, without requiring hours in the gym or an “all-or-nothing” approach. We’ll also discuss the fundamentals of barre and Pilates, what makes these movement practices unique and accessible, and how they can fit into even the busiest lifestyles.
