The Foothill College Disability Resource Center is collaborating with Community Education (CE) to offer students with diverse abilities the opportunity to participate in Lifelong Fitness courses, developed to fit their specific needs and goals. Lifelong Fitness courses are designed primarily for older adults age 50 & above. The program's mission is to inspire individuals of all ages to sustain a high quality of life by promoting creative and active lifestyles through meaningful physical activity, recreation and fitness experiences across the lifespan.
