Benefits of Resistance and Cardio Training for Seniors 🏃‍♂️ ❤️

Senior Fit Plus provides older adults with the perfect blend of exercises to maintain independence and quality of life as you age. This class specifically targets the needs of active seniors looking to maintain their fitness levels in a safe, structured environment.

Regular participation in resistance and cardio training offers numerous benefits for older adults:

• Increased muscle strength: Resistance training helps combat age-related muscle loss, improving your ability to perform everyday activities
• Enhanced bone density: Weight-bearing exercises help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures
• Improved balance and coordination: Functional movements practiced in class help reduce fall risk
• Better cardiovascular health: Cardio components improve heart and lung function while lowering blood pressure
• Increased metabolism: Building muscle helps maintain a healthy weight by burning more calories at rest
• Cognitive benefits: Physical activity has been shown to improve memory and brain function

Senior Fit Plus is specifically designed as a Level 2 class, making it ideal for older adults who maintain an active lifestyle. The class structure allows you to work at your own pace while being challenged appropriately. The social aspect of group fitness also provides valuable connection with like-minded peers, contributing to overall wellbeing.

The ability to get up and down from the floor safely is an important functional skill that this class helps maintain—research shows this capability is strongly linked to independence in later years. Join us at Marina Fitness and invest in your long-term health with this comprehensive fitness programme tailored to active seniors.
