Senior Strength Class

A new strength & fitness class for older adults

Power up your senior years!

Would you like to move with energy, strength and confidence in your senior years?

Welcome to my Senior Strength Class!

What is included in this class?

Each 1 hour class will include the following important fitness elements for your body:

  • Mobility and flexibility exercises to assist in the preservation and restoration of your range of motion in your muscles and joints

  • Strength exercises - with light weights and/or bodyweight – resistance training helps to prevent osteoporosis and reduce sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and can have a significant impact on the maintenance of independence in old age

  • Balance and co-ordination exercises to prevent and/or postpone age-associated decline

  • Cardiovascular exercises – to strengthen your heart and lungs and improve cardiovascular endurance

  • Breathing exercises – to improve lung function and to relax your body and mind

My class also offers you the opportunity to socialise and have fun with others.

Other benefits of physical activity to your overall health and wellbeing:
