MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Free exercise classes will be offered every Friday in August at the brand new Middletown Senior Center from 10:30 a.m to 11:30 a.m.
The class will be taught in chairs with the option to stand and move given as well.
The class will feature cardio, strength training and stretching for a total body workout.
Local Jazzercise instructors, Beth Rudiger and Marla Drake, will lead this Jazzercise Lite class. They welcome people of any mobility level who want to get moving again.
“We are offering this because we believe everybody needs to move in order to live life to the fullest,” said Rudiger. “Today is a good day to start exercising and this class is accessible to everyone.”
Jazzercise Lite is a 60-minute class that pairs moderate aerobics with exercises that are designed to improve strength, balance, and flexibility.
The easy-to-follow routines make Jazzercise Lite inviting to newcomers, and the aerobic portion of the workout can get the heart rate up without stressing the knees, legs and lower back.
The Jazzercise philosophy has always been that exercise is for everyone – and by using effective exercise, jazz dance and popular music – it’s fun for participants, too.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Tennis isn't just for the big kids.
Riviera Hills Country Club in Kelseyville has been hosting summer tennis camps for youth, including Tiny Tennis campers, age 5 to 8.
Downtown Tennis Academy incorporates the USTA 10 and under tennis play format by using size appropriate equipment and tennis balls that are easier to hit.
Red balls are used for a 36-foot court format, for 5- to 8-year-olds. Orange balls are used on a modified 60-foot court, for 9- to 10-year-olds. Green balls are used on a full sized 78-foot court, for the intermediate to advanced players.
Using this format will better develop junior players, helping them master tennis fundamentals more quickly and getting them excited to play.
The last tennis camp of the summer began Monday and runs through this Friday, Aug. 23.
Tennis lessons will continue once a week starting in September.
