FOUR PILLARS

flexibility icon of figure stretching

Flexibility: Ability to move joints well enough to prevent injury through a full range of motion.

cardio icon of figure running on treadmill

Aerobics: Increases breathing and heart rate; also known as “cardio.”

balance icon

Balance: Encourages functional movement to prevent falls. Important for safety, especially if experiencing neuropathy.

strength icon

Strength: Increases coordination and ability to move weight — bodyweight or other. Form is always more important than weight!

INTENSITY LEVELS

flexibility icon of figure stretching

Very Low: Focused on moving slowly and breathing deeply. An excellent starting point or a restorative activity to combine with other workouts.

flexibility icon of figure stretching

Low: Involves light activity that doesn’t feel hard; it may not change your breathing pattern or make you sweat. 

flexibility icon of figure stretching

Moderate: Gets your heart pumping but will generally allow you to carry on a normal conversation.

flexibility icon of figure stretching

High: Requires endurance and may be intense enough that normal conversation may not be possible.

“Joining TSNW gave me a whole boat load of supportive and joyful sisters. It was almost worth getting cancer to be able to meet these super women! Exercise has helped me to stay alive and young as I am getting older. It is giving me strength that I never guessed that I would have after cancer (3 times) or at my age (81). TSNW is not just a physical fitness organization. It is made up of a group of strong, caring  women who support each other in many ways. We are all here for each other and have a lot of fun together.”
