Benefits of Exercise for Mature Adults 🌟

Regular physical activity becomes increasingly important as we age. Our Mature and Motivated class offers the perfect balance of exercise and enjoyment for older adults in the Selwyn District.

Research shows that staying active in your senior years can:

• Improve cardiovascular health - Even gentle exercise helps maintain a healthy heart and reduces the risk of heart disease
• Maintain independence - Strength and balance training helps with everyday activities like climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and getting up from chairs
• Boost mood and mental wellbeing - Exercise releases endorphins that combat depression and anxiety while promoting better sleep
• Enhance cognitive function - Physical activity is linked to better brain health and may help prevent cognitive decline
• Build community connections - Our classes provide a supportive social environment to make friends and stay motivated

This class is tailored for those who have reasonable mobility and can move around without difficulty, as well as participants who already have good fitness levels and are confident with physical activities.

No special equipment or prior experience is needed - just comfortable clothing, supportive footwear, and a water bottle. Our experienced instructors modify exercises to suit individual needs and abilities, ensuring everyone feels welcome and successful. 🏋️‍♀️ 🧠 ❤️
