As much as I can take.

The classes are at different levels, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. But of course no one is watching you, so you can be as energetic or lethargic as you like.

Unfortunately, I am not on Medicare as I always worked for the State of Illinois and didn't accumulate enough credits in Social Security to qualify. Instead, I have the same health insurance I had when I was working, which is actually better than Medicare, because it's free (no insurance premiums) -- a perk that Illinois offers or used to offer to retirees with more than 20 years of service. I don't know if there are other programs that are similar to Silver Sneakers for seniors, but I can do an Internet search. I thought maybe I could get in under my wife's eligibility, but they won't let me.
