Why Balance Training Matters as We Age 🧘‍♀️

Balance training is a crucial component of fitness that becomes increasingly important as we age. Steady As You Go classes provide a gentle yet effective approach to maintaining and improving balance and stability.

Regular balance exercises can provide numerous benefits:

• Fall prevention: Reducing the risk of falls by strengthening key muscle groups
• Increased confidence: Building assurance in everyday movements and activities
• Improved mobility: Enhancing your ability to move freely and independently
• Better posture: Strengthening core muscles that support proper alignment
• Social connection: Engaging with others in your community in a supportive environment

The combination of sitting, standing and walking exercises makes these classes accessible for those who may feel unsure about physical activity or have reduced strength and balance. The progressive nature of the exercises allows you to work at your own pace while gradually building capability.

SAYGO classes are specifically designed for Kiwis looking to maintain their independence and confidence in movement. The supportive group environment provides motivation and accountability, making it easier to stick with your fitness routine.
