Benefits of Strength & Balance Training for Kiwi Seniors 🇳🇿

Strength and balance exercises are vital for maintaining independence and quality of life as we age. Regular participation in these classes can help:

• Prevent falls - Falls are a leading cause of injury among older Kiwis. These exercises strengthen the muscles needed for stability.
• Improve everyday function - Build the strength needed for daily activities like climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and getting up from chairs.
• Maintain bone density - Weight-bearing exercises help slow age-related bone loss.
• Enhance confidence - Feeling stronger physically often translates to greater confidence in everyday activities.
• Social connection - Group classes provide valuable social interaction, which is important for mental wellbeing.

The ACC and Ministry of Health recommend strength and balance exercises at least twice weekly for older adults. These classes align with the "Live Stronger for Longer" initiative, which aims to reduce falls and fractures among older New Zealanders. 🌿

Even if you haven't exercised regularly before, it's never too late to start. The instructors at Snap Fitness understand the unique needs of older adults and provide modifications to ensure everyone can participate safely and effectively, regardless of fitness level or mobility challenges. 🌟
