2012 Pedometer Walking Program: Touring Southern South America.  During the winter months, it is often hard to get out and keep moving. The pedometer walking program will travel, vicariously (of course) over southern South America and make many stops to learn about the area along the path.  This is an opportunity to help get those steps in that are so important each day. You do not have to be an avid walker to participate. Packets/Pedometers are available at the Senior Center front desk. 

Weight and Fitness Room - The Weight and Fitness Room has tredmills, stationary bicycles, and an eliptical for your cardio workouts. In addition, we have free weights and weight machines to help increase your muscle strength and endurance.

The Hiking Group goes outdoors for gentle hikes around the Bozeman area on Tuesday's. The Walking Group walks around the Bozeman area on Wednesday's or Thursday's. Both groups meet at the Bozeman Senior Center at 8:30am. A complete itinerary of both programs can be found at the front desk. Pick up a copy beginning May 2012.

The Snowshoeing and Cross Country Ski program is designed to be enjoyable for all and to let seniors take advantage of the area in which they live, while being in an environment that is safe, friendly, and scenic.
