SUMMARY:Stay Active and Independent for Life (SAIL)
DESCRIPTION:Living Independently for Today and Tomorrow (LIFTT) has received a generous grant from the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services to participate in the Stay Active & Independent for Life (SAIL) Program.  Under the grant\, LIFTT will offer free SAIL classes designed for adults 65 and older. These classes will focus on building strength\, balance\, and flexibility\, which are essential for maintaining independence\, preventing falls\, and enhancing overall well-being. \nThe SAIL Program is a 12-week evidence-based fitness series in which participants engage in exercises that can be performed standing or seated\, as desired.

With team members based in Billings and Glendive\, LIFTT provides aging and disabled members of the community with programs and services that help empower them to break down the physical\, bureaucratic\, and cultural barriers that prevent them from being fully independent participants in their lives and communities throughout 18 counties in southeastern and south-central Montana: Big Horn\, Carbon\, Carter\, Custer\, Dawson\, Fallon\, Garfield\, Golden Valley\, McCone\, Musselshell\, Powder River\, Prairie\, Richland\, Rosebud\, Stillwater\, Treasure\, Wibaux\, and Yellowstone.

SUMMARY:Stay Active and Independent for Life (SAIL)
DESCRIPTION:Living Independently for Today and Tomorrow (LIFTT) has received a generous grant from the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services to participate in the Stay Active & Independent for Life (SAIL) Program.  Under the grant\, LIFTT will offer free SAIL classes designed for adults 65 and older. These classes will focus on building strength\, balance\, and flexibility\, which are essential for maintaining independence\, preventing falls\, and enhancing overall well-being. \nThe SAIL Program is a 12-week evidence-based fitness series in which participants engage in exercises that can be performed standing or seated\, as desired. Each session includes balance\, strength\, and stretching routines\, and participants’ fitness progress will be assessed through periodic checks such as the 8-Foot Timed Up and Go Test\, Bicep Curls\, and Chair-Stand Exercises. \nThrough the support of the SAIL grant\, LIFTT will be able to cover the costs of specialized equipment\, instructor training\, and accessible venues\, ensuring that these vital classes are offered at no cost to our aging community members. \nWhy Bring SAIL to LIFTT?\n\n20% of Montana adults report not engaging in regular physical activity\nTwo out of three Montana adults are overweight or obese.\nRegular exercise improves balance and reduces the risk of falls\, significantly decreasing the chance of injury\, hospitalization\, or loss of independence.\nLIFTT’s mission has always been to empower individuals aging and those with disabilities to live independently\, and the SAIL program perfectly aligns with that vision.\n\nThe Fall 2025 SAIL training class at LIFTT begins on Tuesday\, September 2\, at 1 p.m. at the Billings LIFTT office (1241 Crawford Drive)\, with subsequent sessions held Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 p.m. through November 20. \nFor more information about LIFTT’s SAIL training or to register\, contact LIFTT’s Nutritional Health Coach and certified SAIL trainer: Eileen Rodgriguz (406) 294-5185\, eileenr@liftt.org.
