Senior Fitness Benefits at Redcliffs 🏋️♀️ 🎵
Regular participation in senior-focused fitness classes like Sensational Sixties and Beyond offers tremendous health advantages for active Kiwi seniors. These specially designed workouts help maintain mobility, improve balance, and build strength - all critical aspects of maintaining independence as we age.
The varied exercise format keeps both body and mind engaged, which is crucial for overall wellbeing. The combination of funky music with movement adds a social and enjoyable element that many participants find motivating and uplifting.
Partner work with equipment such as resistance bands and balls helps to:
- Improve coordination - essential for preventing falls

- Enhance flexibility - to maintain range of motion
- Boost cardiovascular health - through rhythmic movement
The circuit training component with weights offers progressive resistance training, which has been shown to help prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). This is particularly important for maintaining metabolic health and bone density.
