ZUMBA® GOLD takes the popular Latin-dance inspired

workout of Zumba and makes it the perfect class for all

populations — seniors, beginners, unconditioned, or others

needing modifications in their exercise routine. Absolutely

NO dance experience required!!! A ZUMBA® GOLD fitness

class includes slower-paced, lower impact choreography that

is easy-to-follow with modified moves along with more verbal

cueing. This class provides cardiovascular strengthening, works

the muscles of the body, and improves range of motion—

while getting the social benefit of “dancing” with friends and

meeting new people in a non-judgmental environment.

Wear loose-fitting comfortable clothing, supportive

footwear with low tread (not a running sneaker) and

bring a water bottle and small towel.

NYS Licensed Guide

Owner of “Dynamic Sport Adventures”

The art of “staying found” requires little more than a good map

and compass, and the know how to use them properly. Today’s

topographic maps are the best available, and magnetic compass

models are well-designed for the modern navigator. Learning to

use a compass and map together are fundamental skills each

outdoorsman and woman should have. This contributes to your

safety afield, and also to your success. This class offers an

introduction to learning these skills, with classroom and in the

field hands on learning. All classroom materials are provided.

*Our optional hike will be on Buck Mountain overlooking Lake

George. On a clear day you can see the High Peaks in the

Adirondack Mountains and also look below to see the many

islands sparkling like jewels in Lake George. You may even see

the diehard boaters enjoying the final boating days of the

season. Barbara McMartin’s book, 50 Hikes in the Adirondacks,

describes Buck Mountain as “a perfect introduction to the

Adirondacks.” Buck Mountain is a moderate hike of 3 miles (one

way) with a few challenging spots. We will car pool for the hike

and you will need to bring your own lunch and water. Plans and

preparation for the hike will be discussed in the class. Hike is

tentatively planned for Saturday, Oct. 18 (weather

permitting).
