Improve Your Balance & Strength in a Supportive Environment 💪

Our Steady As You Go class is perfect for older Kiwis looking to maintain independence and prevent falls. These evidence-based exercises are specifically designed to:

• Improve balance and coordination
• Strengthen leg muscles essential for daily activities
• Build confidence in movement
• Reduce fall risk through practical, gentle exercises

The class moves at a manageable pace with options to adapt exercises based on your personal ability. You'll practice functional movements that transfer directly to everyday activities like getting up from chairs, walking steadily, and navigating uneven surfaces.

This community-based programme offers more than just physical benefits. You'll meet like-minded people in a welcoming, social atmosphere where everyone works at their own pace without judgment. Many participants report not only physical improvements but also increased confidence and new friendships.

🌿 No special equipment or fitness experience needed - just wear comfortable clothes and supportive shoes. Our trained Peer Leaders will guide you through each exercise with clear instructions and modifications as needed.

Developed by Age Concern, Steady As You Go has helped thousands of older New Zealanders maintain their mobility and independence. Join us at Caversham Church and take a positive step toward improved balance, strength, and wellbeing.
