“Start the New Year Strong,” an introductory strength-training event, is set for 7-8 p.m. Jan. 9, 2017, at the Sayreville Public Library, 1050 Washington Road.
Participants will need a mat, a set of light weights and water. If an individual does not have weights, he or she should bring two extra bottles of water. The class will warm up, train each major muscle group, cool down and stretch.
Strength training aims to improve bone density; to increase the strength of connective tissue, muscles and tendons; and to improve quality of life and self-confidence.
Light refreshments will be served. The event is open to adults only.
For more information or to register, call Jennifer at 732-727-0212, ext. 25, or log on to www.sayrevillelibrary.org.
