I photographed the weekly senior chair exercise class at the Robert D. Fowler YMCA in Norcross for the Peachtree Corners Patch newspaper on Wednesday, August 17, 2011. The class helps older members of the YMCA work out and socialize while having fun. The 50 minute class includes weight lifting, stretching and cardio. These are my favorite images from the class.
