Benefits of Circuit Training for Active Kiwis 🏃♀️
Circuit training is an excellent way to maintain fitness and mobility as we age. This type of exercise combines strength, cardio, balance, and flexibility work in one efficient session.
Why circuit training works so well:
- Improves cardiovascular health and endurance
- Builds and maintains muscle strength, particularly important for maintaining independence
- Enhances balance, reducing fall risk
- Increases flexibility for better range of motion in daily activities
- Provides social connection in a supportive group environment
Circuit training with resistance bands is particularly effective as it provides adjustable resistance without the impact or injury risk of free weights. The bands help target specific muscle groups while being gentle on joints.
Movement to music adds an enjoyable element to workouts while improving coordination and rhythm. It's not just exercise—it's a chance to have fun while looking after your health!
Classes like Geraldine Keep Active are perfect for those who already enjoy physical activity and want to maintain their fitness in a structured, social environment. The varied exercises prevent boredom and target different aspects of fitness in a single session.
Join our friendly community of active participants and experience the physical and mental benefits of regular exercise in a welcoming atmosphere. 🌿 🕺 🧘♀️
