💪 Staying active, building strength, and moving with confidence!

We had another great FREE class at the Algood Branch Library with retired physical therapist Mr. Rolando Cruz! Participants worked through easy-to-follow exercises focused on improving balance, coordination, strength, and fall prevention.

While Mr. Cruz leads his in-person classes at our Algood Branch, we’re sharing these videos across all Putnam County Library System branches because we believe seniors and active adults throughout our entire community can benefit from them. ❤️ Whether you visit Cookeville, Algood, Baxter, or Monterey, this resource is for you!

📱 Couldn’t attend in person? You can still participate! Follow along with this class from home and watch for future exercise videos on our pages and Putnam County Library System YouTube channel.

Our libraries are about more than books-we’re here to provide resources that support learning, connection, wellness, and quality of life at every age.

Please exercise at your own risk and consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program. Participation is voluntary, and participants assume any risks associated with performing these exercises.
