Benefits of Strength and Balance Training for Seniors 🧠💪

Regular strength and balance exercises are vital for maintaining independence and quality of life as we age. These classes help participants:

• Prevent falls - Improved balance and coordination reduce fall risk, a common concern for older adults
• Maintain mobility - Regular movement helps preserve joint function and flexibility
• Build confidence - Structured exercise in a supportive environment builds self-assurance for everyday activities
• Enhance mental wellbeing - Physical activity releases endorphins that boost mood and cognitive function
• Foster social connections - Group classes provide opportunities for socialising and building community
