Carroll County YMCA, in partnership with Healthways, is offering the "Silver Sneakers" fitness program free to those insured by AARP, Humana, and Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield.

Over 600 people in Carroll County are eligible for the program. Both men and women can take part, and there are two levels of exercise to choose from.

One class is for seniors who haven't worked out or who can't do strenuous exercise. This class concentrates on balance and coordination and allows the participant to be seated.

The other class is cardiac oriented with more intensive movements, much like low impact aerobics or dance.
