Water Aerobics at the RiverPlex
All classes are free to RiverPlex members. Non-members may purchase a 10 pass punch card for $50. Please pick up a water aerobics schedule at the RiverPlex or at www.peoriaparks.org.
Aqua Zumba: Perfect for those looking to make a splash by adding a low-impact, high-energy aqua c exercise to their tness rou ne. There is less impact on your joints during an Aqua Zumba class so you can really let loose. Water creates natural resistance, which means every step is more challenging and helps tone your muscles.
Senior Fit: A great class set to upbeat music for the mature aerobics fan. Held in the warm water therapy pool, this class is great for those who want strengthening, addi onal exibility, and those with joint problems.
Tummies and Thighs: This class is designed to work your abs and your thighs (plus your legs and lower back).
OSF Arthri s: Join us for a workout in the warm water to improve your joint range of mo on and strength - there is easy entrance into the pool. A Physician Consent form is required. Call 282-1605 to register.
OSF Mul ple Sclerosis: Focus on stretching, joint range of mo on, muscle strengthening, balance, and coordina on in a posi ve social se ng. A Physician Consent form is required. Call 282-1605 to register.
Run the Rapids: This class will give you the bene ts of running without all the stress on your body. Water shoes recommended.
Ai Chi: An end of the week breather! Relax and get a great workout while our instructors lead you through a series of controlled movements and breathing techniques set to serene music.
High/Low: A great overall workout and condi oning class that includes a warm-up, cardio and strengthening, and cool down.

MOONLIGHT COALITION
What is Moonlight Coali on?
Moonlight Coali on for Adult Learning was originally established in 1994 to provide organized ac vi es for young members of the community to combat juvenile delinquency and prevent crime. Organized sports like basketball were combined with GED instruc on as a way to break down barriers for those who thought formal educa on wasn’t accessible or “cool.”
Today, Moonlight focuses on providing easy access to GED educa on for those seeking to earn their high school diploma. In direct contrast to other programs that only take new students at the beginning of each semester and that are located outside of local communi es, Moonlight focuses on providing accessible, open educa on opportuni es, reaching those in need of support in the communi es where they live and work. At this me, Moonlight provides GED and adult literacy educa on to adults ages 17 and over at Proctor Recrea on Center and Logan Recrea on Center. Moonlight Coali on honors its graduates with a cap and gown gradua on ceremony twice a year.
