Fit Stations

Four stations to work your upper body, strengthen your core, improve balance and do stretches. Check out the videos for each station below.

The four Fit Stations are designed to provide a place for residents of all ages to build muscle. Strength training makes you stronger and feel more energized. It can relieve stress and even give you a better night’s sleep. It helps to protect your joints from injury and improves your range of motion. Core strengthening, in particular, can significantly reduce back pain.

Strength training can also improve bone density, help lower your blood pressure and recharge your metabolism (Read: lose weight). Balance work improves coordination, and in turn reduces the risk of falls. It In addition, golf specific exercises can help add distance to your game. That is a host of benefits. So why not start today?

Suggestions for Using the Fit Stations:

You will likely want to begin gradually. (Be sure to check with your doctor before starting.) Here are some options for exercises to do on these stations.

Multi-Level Bars

1. Traditional pull-ups can be done from the highest bar.

2. Modified pull-ups, resting heels on the ground in front of you, are done from the two medium height bars, and give a gentle workout to the upper body.

3. Push-ups against one of the two lower bars offer two levels for an easy workout.

4. Stretching is done from the lowest bar. Or for an easier stretch use the platform.

Incline Benches

1. Doing small crunches with your head elevated provides an easier option than a flat surface. Do these with your head down for a more strenuous workout.

2. Leg lifts with your head up offers a bit more of a challenge. Reverse position to let gravity make this a bit easier.
