Benefits of Gentle Exercise for Seniors and Beginners 🧠💪

Gentle exercise offers numerous health benefits while minimizing strain on the body. These classes provide an ideal starting point for physical activity, especially for those who may feel unsure about their capabilities.

Physical Benefits:

• Improves joint mobility and flexibility
• Enhances balance and coordination
• Strengthens muscles to support everyday activities
• Helps maintain healthy blood pressure and circulation

Mental Wellbeing:

• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Boosts mood through gentle endorphin release

Our supportive, no-pressure environment makes fitness accessible for everyone, regardless of previous exercise experience. The seated option on Wednesdays is particularly beneficial for those with more limited mobility or who prefer exercising from a stable position.

Regular attendance at gentle exercise classes can help maintain independence and confidence in daily activities. The social aspect of our classes creates a sense of community, combating isolation that can sometimes affect older adults.
