Benefits of Strength and Balance Exercises for Seniors 🧠💪

Strength and balance exercises are vital for maintaining independence and wellbeing as we age. Our Steady As You Go© programme is specifically designed to support older Kiwis with gentle, effective movements that build confidence and physical capability.

Key benefits include:

• Reduced risk of falls and related injuries
• Improved everyday mobility and independence
• Increased muscle strength to support joints
• Enhanced coordination and reaction time
• Social connection with like-minded people in your community

The exercises gradually progress at your own pace, focusing on functional movements that help with daily activities. Each session creates a supportive atmosphere where participants can feel comfortable regardless of their fitness level.

No special equipment or previous experience is needed - just wear comfortable clothing and supportive footwear. Our trained instructors understand the needs of older adults and will ensure exercises are appropriate for those who may use walking aids or have mobility limitations.

Regular attendance at Steady As You Go© classes can help maintain your confidence, keep you active, and support your overall wellbeing in a friendly, no-pressure environment. It's never too late to improve your strength and balance! 🌿
