A regular exercise program can decrease our risk of suffering from these and other conditions, conditions that can affect the quality of our lives.
If you are looking for a positive exercise environment where you will learn what to do and why, come to Orange Coast College. We have expert faculty members who will help you develop an exercise program tailored to your needs, one that is realistic and fits into your lifestyle.
The Second Half is a program to motivate active adults to lead a healthy lifestyle.
We are more than just another fitness program for “seniors.”
Our goal is to increase the quality of life in the second half using a holistic/wellness approach. This is a multifaceted approach that integrates physical, mental and social facets into programming.
We want to help you reach your human potential during the best time of your life. Let us help motivate you to be an active adult who leads a healthy lifestyle.
What is Different About Our Program?
-
Our program is held at a college
- Our program provides quality, degreed instructors with many years of experience and expertise.
- Our goal is multifaceted – not just physical fitness but also social and mental “fitness.”
- We are sensitive to the different reasons for participating in a wellness program; we have a place for those who are physically active as well as for those who are sedentary and want to become more physically active.
- We understand that many have grown up with erroneous information about diet/exercise and health; therefore, we will provide correct information about health and wellness.
- The cost is less than at a gym or health club – for the services and faculty support, OCC is the best deal around.
