Stay Strong, Stay Healthy program sessions are lead by a team of University of Missouri Extension Specialists. Each Specialist has completed the seven hour Tufts endorsed SSSH training on how to effectively instruct and assist participants in learning strength exercises. The first 10 weeks of the class is taught by a University of Missouri Extension Specialist and they are equipped with sets of hand weights and ankle weights for their participants to use during each exercise. 

The exercises include a warm-up, upper and lower body strengthening exercises, and a cool-down. Pre- and post-tests are preformed on each participant detailing their level of strength, balance, and flexibility before and after the program. An evaluation of the program is given on the last day specifying needs and goals met, overall satisfaction of the program, and comments from participants.
