Fitness and art come together in this AARP Houston and MECA virtual series titled "Silver Stars: Mondays with MECA." This 5-part event includes a hybrid instruction of Sit and Be Fit - a low impact but high-intensity workout that blends dance and yoga combined with a visual art activity. The 50-minute sessions will be in English and curated, especially for AARP members.

The first 25 minutes of each class will begin with Sit and be Fit, which caters to the individual participant's needs. The exercises blend dance and yoga techniques and allow for modification as needed. This class requires that you have access to a comfortable and stable chair and drinking water.  

Each session's second 25 minutes will include a visual art activity (that varies per session). Each activity will serve as a beginning level introduction to art class that includes warm-up exercises to improve hand to eye coordination and dexterity. This class requires that the participants have access to copy paper/or sketch pad and a pencil.

The remaining two sessions will be hosted on the following dates:

Monday, January 25, 2021, – 11:00 AM CST

Monday, February 8, 2021, – 11:00 AM CST
