Benefits of Strength and Balance Training for Kiwis 🌿

Strength and balance training is essential for maintaining mobility and independence as we age. Our "Fit for Life" class offers a comprehensive workout that's both effective and enjoyable.

What this class offers:

• Improved cardiovascular health through gentle aerobic exercise
• Enhanced muscle strength using resistance bands
• Better balance and coordination for everyday activities
• Joint mobility benefits - excellent for managing arthritis symptoms
• Social connection in a supportive community environment

This class is designed for those with reasonable to good mobility (Levels 2-3), meaning you should be able to walk independently and feel comfortable performing moderate physical activities. You'll be guided through exercises that can be modified to suit your individual needs.

Regular attendance can help reduce the risk of falls, improve posture, boost energy levels, and enhance overall wellbeing. The combination of cardio, strength work, and balance exercises creates a well-rounded fitness routine that addresses the key physical challenges many Kiwis face as they age.
