Why Strength & Balance Training Is Essential After 40 🧠

As we age, maintaining strength and balance becomes increasingly important for maintaining independence and quality of life. Regular strength training after 40 helps:

• Prevent muscle loss - From age 30 onwards, we naturally lose 3-5% of muscle mass per decade
• Strengthen bones - Resistance training helps maintain bone density and prevent osteoporosis
• Improve balance - Reducing fall risk and increasing confidence in daily movements
• Boost metabolism - More muscle means higher resting energy expenditure
• Enhance functional fitness - Making everyday activities like carrying groceries, climbing stairs, and getting up from chairs easier

Our Growing Younger classes focus on practical, functional movements that directly transfer to daily life activities. Using bands and bodyweight exercises means the workouts are gentle on joints while still being highly effective. 🌿

These Level 2 classes are perfect for those who maintain reasonable mobility but want to proactively address the natural changes that come with aging. The supportive group environment makes fitness enjoyable and sustainable - you'll be amongst others with similar goals and abilities.

No prior experience with strength training is necessary - our expert instructors will guide you through each exercise with proper form and technique. Come along and discover how the right strength and balance training can help you feel years younger! ✨
