Get Active at Home

Do you want to keep fit this winter and spring?  Perhaps you began with fitness classes offered by OPL in the fall and you want to continue?  Or you want to exercise more frequently?   

Studies show that balance exercises are one of the most effective ways of preventing falls.  They are as important as strength exercises for your ongoing health.

You can, with easy access to videorcordings of exercises classes.  We invited several of the fitness instructors who gave our popular Friday fitness classes in 2020 to record 30-minute videos of exercise classes. 

 These classes are free, and are available at any time, to fit your schedule! 

These videos offer exercises you can do from home, without any special equipment.  They are easy to fit into your daily routine. 

You will find videorecordings by Amanda Sterczyk, Karine Léveillé and Cassie Love on the Ottawa Public Library's YouTube Channel.

You can click on the classes directly from our new Get Active at Home page that you will find linked under "Explore further" on the Aging Well Together portal.
