The Perry County University of Missouri Extension Center is hosting two eight-week Stay Strong, Stay Healthy strength training programs for middle-aged and older adults who are looking to build strength, improve balance, and live a more independent lifestyle. Building strength promotes quality of life and independence, especially for adults over 50.

Level 2 will meet from 9 to 10 a.m. Level 3 will meet from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., beginning Thursday, Sept. 19, and continuing through November.
