Benefits of Low-Impact Exercise for Wellness and Mobility 🧘‍♀️

Low-impact fitness classes are brilliant for Kiwis of all ages who want to maintain or improve their physical wellbeing without putting stress on their joints. These gentle yet effective workouts are especially valuable for older adults or those recovering from injury.

Why low-impact exercise is fantastic for your health:

• Improves cardiovascular health without high-impact movements
• Strengthens muscles that support proper posture and daily activities
• Enhances balance and coordination, reducing fall risk
• Increases flexibility and joint mobility
• Boosts mental wellbeing through regular physical activity

Regular attendance at low-impact classes like this one can help maintain independence and confidence in everyday movements. The focus on posture and balance is particularly important as these elements form the foundation of safe, effective movement patterns in daily life.
