Senior Exercise

Ron Jones knows what he is teaching.  This is all the more important because of the participant "mix" of the Shape Up class.  I estimate that the class is comprised of approximately one-third college students and two-thirds "senior" citizens.  Giving this "mix" his constant attention, Mr. Jones provides appropriate modeling of each exercise, explanations of why the exercise should be done properly, and detailed descriptions of what will happen if the exercise id done improperly.  In addition, Ron provides proper encouragement to the group and makes available the latest research on the importance of exercise.  All students in the class very well receive his personal anecdotes and professional demeanor. 

I have noticed, in the weight room after the stretching exercise have been completed, the interaction between Mr. Jones and individual students.  He is not one of those instructors who sits behind the desk and does nothing; Ron is constantly on the move.  He walks around the room providing invaluable suggestions and ides to those in need.  He then stays with the person to ensure that the exercise is properly accomplished and/or the machine properly used.  When he is not instructing, he is straightening equipment.  In fact, during my twenty-five minute "walk" on the treadmill machine or the thirty minutes on various weight machines,  I have learned a lot simply observing and listening to Ron as he instructs others.

Mr. Jones would be an excellent addition to a program.  He maintains the necessary background and expertise necessary to meet escalating needs of diverse populations and the ever-growing population known as seniors.
