Benefits of Balance & Strength Training for Seniors 💪

Steady As You Go (SAYGO) classes provide essential exercise specifically designed for older adults looking to maintain independence and prevent falls. These sessions focus on:

• Improved balance: Reducing fall risk through targeted exercises that enhance stability
• Increased strength: Building muscle power in legs and core to support everyday activities
• Enhanced confidence: Developing greater body awareness and movement security
• Community connection: Exercising in a social, supportive environment with peers

The carefully structured format includes a mix of seated exercises for upper body strength, standing exercises with support if needed, and gentle walking patterns to improve coordination. This combination makes the class accessible whether you use a walking aid or simply want to maintain your current mobility.

Regular attendance at SAYGO classes has been shown to significantly improve participants' confidence in moving about independently and tackling daily activities. The gradual progression allows you to build strength at your own pace in a non-competitive atmosphere.
