Benefits of FLexercise for Active Kiwis 🌿

FLexercise is a well-established fitness programme that has helped Kiwis stay active for decades. Originally known as the Fitness League, this exercise style combines traditional movement patterns with modern fitness principles.

Regular participation in FLexercise classes can provide numerous benefits:

• Improved posture and core strength - The exercises focus on proper alignment and engaging your core muscles, helping to reduce back pain and improve everyday movement
• Enhanced balance and coordination - Regular practice helps reduce the risk of falls, particularly important as we age
• Maintained joint mobility - The gentle, flowing movements help keep joints lubricated and flexible
• Cardiovascular health - The continuous movement to music provides an effective but manageable cardio workout
• Social connection - Exercise in a group setting offers both physical benefits and valuable social interaction

FLexercise is particularly popular among active older adults looking to maintain their fitness in a supportive, non-competitive environment. The exercises can be adapted to suit your individual needs while still providing an effective workout.

The use of music not only makes the sessions more enjoyable but also helps with rhythm, timing, and motivation. Many participants find the combination of movement and music creates a meditative quality that reduces stress and improves mental wellbeing. 🎵
