Benefits of Resistance Band Training for Seniors

Resistance band training is ideal for older adults looking to maintain strength and independence. Unlike traditional weights, bands provide continuous tension throughout each movement, creating effective resistance with minimal joint stress.

Why resistance bands work brilliantly for seniors:

• Gentle on joints while still building functional strength
• Adaptable to different fitness levels and mobility ranges
• Improves everyday movements like standing from chairs, climbing stairs, and carrying shopping
• Helps maintain bone density to reduce fracture risk
• Portable and versatile - techniques learned can be practiced at home

Regular resistance training has been shown to help Kiwi seniors maintain independence longer. Research indicates just twice-weekly resistance training can significantly improve strength, balance and mobility in older adults.

Our Never2Old programme focuses on practical, functional movements that translate directly to daily activities. You'll work at your own pace with expert guidance from instructors who understand the specific needs of older adults.

The supportive group environment also provides valuable social connection - equally important for wellbeing as the physical benefits. Many participants find these classes become a highlight of their week, combining physical activity with friendship and community.
