Step Aerobics
Step has been a fitness favorite for many
years for very good reasons. It’s a fabulous
cardiovascular workout that uses more muscles
than other types of cardio training thereby
reducing the risk of overuse injuries. The effort
made to learn the moves also stimulates the
brain so you improve your mind and your
body. This class is designed for people who
are familiar with step, but anyone will become
comfortable after a few weeks. Walter Reed

Pilates for Mommy & Me
Meet other moms while you get back in shape...
and bond with your baby all at the same time.
New moms need to strengthen and tone their
abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, the areas
that are especially weakened by pregnancy and
childbirth. Each class targets deep abdominal
muscle, releases tension in the back, neck and
shoulders, and improves overall posture. Bring
your baby with you so you can enhance your
maternal bond and increase your flexibility and
strength. Remember to bring a supportive pillow
for your baby.

Feldenkrais: All Levels
If you are interested in introspective movement,
you will like this class. Feldenkrais Method is
an educational system centered on movement,
aiming to expand and refine the use of the self
through awareness. You will often be lying down
yet sometimes sitting, kneeling or standing. You
will be outwardly moving the whole time, while
simultaneously exploring a given inward focus.
Some of the movement will feel familiar, but
many may not. Yet there will be variations on
the theme of familiar movements. You will also
learn more about anatomy. Feldenkrais increases
your awareness of yourself. Over the sessions
you are likely to find that you are more relaxed,
nagging pains are diminishing, you are feeling
more limber and energetic, and that new options
are opening up for you. Bring a bath towel to
cover the County-supplied mats and if you
desire, a small pillow. (You can take a one-day

Attention
Pool Lovers!
Arlington County is proud to provide
lessons that are based on the Red Cross
Learn-to-Swim Program. When registering
please make sure participants can complete
all necessary prerequisites prior to
beginning the class. Student who are not at
the right level hinder the classes’ ability to
function. Everyone progresses at different
speeds, so it is typical to repeat courses.
Public Health requires pools to close when
contaminated. Swim diapers or snug-fitting
plastic pants must be worn by anyone who
is incontinent. Also please do not eat with
30 minutes of swimming.
Children under nine years old must be
accompanied by an adult at all times in the
building. Children under five must have
a guardian in the water with them when
class is not in session. If the pool is open
for public swim after class, children can
swim up to 15 minutes but a guardian must
be with them in the water at this time.
Pre-Fin
For beginners, this class requires no experience
in the water, but children must leave parent
willingly. Tots will become more comfortable
in the water with an instructor and group of
children. By the end of the course participants
should be able to submerge face comfortably
and float on the front and on the back without
support. Inst: Staff

and faith. Students start with a white belt that
symbolizes innocence and progress to yellow

(danger) and black (maturity). Tae kwon-do
has 24 patterns representing the hours of the
day, and its basic tenants are courtesy, integrity,
perseverance, self-control and indomitable
spirit. Students are evaluated at each class after
their first 12 hours of studying. The discipline

Signing Smart ASL Play Class
Signing Smart strategies integrate more than 130
American Sign Language (ASL) signs into songs,
games, and activities developed to engage very
young children and their parents. Research has
shown that Signing Smart with hearing babies
and toddlers allows communication and spoken
language to happen earlier and faster, while
reducing frustration and tantrums. Most children
have 2-3 words by 12 months, whereas, Signing
Smart children typically have 25 signs and 16
words! Most children start combining words
into 2 word sentences by 20 months, whereas
Signing Smart children typically do this by 11-14
months and some as early as 6 months! NIH
even found a 12-point IQ increase for eight-
year-olds who used signs as young children.
