A stretching class begins at 9 a.m., followed by the Enhance Fitness class at 10 a.m., which incorporates stretching, strength training, cardio and balance exercises.

“Staying active during a pandemic can be difficult but is so critical to our physical and mental health,” said Recreation Superintendent James Simmons. “We are excited to be able to offer this safe and secure opportunity to the senior members of our community.”

Participants and staff are required to follow current COVID-19 guidance from the Wicomico County Health Department. Masks and social distancing will be in effect.
