Regular physical activity in later life is important for so many reasons – not only will your health improve, but you’ll also meet new people.
Why is keeping fit in later life so beneficial?
Here are just some of the benefits of physical activity:
- Helps you to maintain a healthy weight
- Reduce your risk of falls by strengthening your muscles
- It is linked to supporting your thinking skills
- Boost your mood and energy levels(exercise releases endorphins)
- It’s social – joining a class can help you to make friends
WHERE YOU ARE AT NOW:
- I am new to exercise or returning to exercise after a long break. I know that I need to exercise and get fitter, I’m not getting any younger and I am not as fit as I used to be – and this is now making me feel really fed up!
- I have very little confidence or motivation, I keep making excuses to not exercise.
- I need a class where alternatives are offered, you are encouraged to work at your own level with a group of likeminded women of my age.
WHAT YOU NEED HELP WITH:
- I need help getting out of my own way! I need to look after me now.
- I keep making excuses to not exercise.
- I definitely need to be motivated. I understand that motivation comes from within, but I need help to do this, I need a friendly and fun exercise class.
- If you haven’t exercised in a while, don’t worry. Our classes focus on gentle exercise to help you to regain your fitness at your own pace. If you’re used to regular physical activity, exercises can be tailored to be more strenuous.
