Benefits of Resistance Band Training for Mobility and Strength 🎵

Active Bands offers a brilliant opportunity to improve your physical wellbeing in a friendly, supportive environment. This class is specifically designed for those who may use walking aids, have reduced strength or balance, or feel uncertain about physical activity.

Resistance band training provides numerous benefits for Kiwis looking to maintain or improve their mobility:

• Low-impact exercise: Gentle on joints while still providing effective resistance
• Improved flexibility: Helps increase range of motion in everyday movements
• Enhanced stability: Works core muscles to support better balance and reduced fall risk
• Builds functional strength: Makes daily activities like standing from a chair easier
• Adaptable intensity: Exercise bands allow each person to work at their own level

The addition of music makes this class not just beneficial but genuinely enjoyable! 🎶 The rhythmic elements help with timing and provide a positive atmosphere that makes exercise feel less like work and more like fun.

No special equipment or prior experience is needed - just wear comfortable clothing and supportive shoes. The instructor will provide all necessary bands and demonstrate modifications to suit your individual needs.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to maintain your mobility as you age, Active Bands offers a supportive environment to build strength and confidence at your own pace. 💯
