High Altitude Vacationing (Online) W24
with Carole Freeman, Augusta Adult and Community Education
Don’t spoil your trip to a higher altitude - condition your body first. People often feel shortness of breath, lightheaded, and fatigued at higher altitudes because their bodies work harder while taking in less oxygen. Anxiety increases, and your enjoyment decreases. You’ll have more energy, feel better, and enjoy your trip when you condition your body first to increase oxygenation and endurance. Do the same preparation that elite athletes do with this 4-week, self-paced course at home, even if you live at sea level.
Your class link and code will be sent with your registration receipt.
