Why FABS Training Benefits Older Adults 🧠 ❤️ 🦵

FABS training combines four essential components that are particularly beneficial for seniors wanting to maintain an active, independent lifestyle:

• Fitness: Improves cardiovascular health, helping your heart and lungs work more efficiently while boosting energy levels for daily activities.
• Agility: Enhances your ability to move quickly and easily, which is crucial for navigating everyday obstacles and preventing falls.
• Balance: Strengthens the core and lower body muscles that keep you stable, reducing fall risk - a common concern for many Kiwi seniors.
• Strength: Builds and maintains muscle mass, which naturally declines with age, helping you perform everyday tasks with confidence.

This class is ideal for those at Level 2 (reasonable mobility, average strength and balance) and Level 3 (good mobility and fitness levels). The exercises are carefully designed to challenge you appropriately while being adaptable to different fitness levels.

Regular participation in FABS training has been shown to help seniors maintain independence, improve mood, enhance cognitive function, and build social connections - all in a supportive community environment right here in Whangārei.
