Senior Fitness Benefits at Redcliffs 🏋️‍♀️ 🎵

Regular participation in senior-focused fitness classes like Sensational Sixties and Beyond offers tremendous health advantages for active Kiwi seniors. These specially designed workouts help maintain mobility, improve balance, and build strength - all critical aspects of maintaining independence as we age.

The varied exercise format keeps both body and mind engaged, which is crucial for overall wellbeing. The combination of funky music with movement adds a social and enjoyable element that many participants find motivating and uplifting.

Partner work with equipment such as resistance bands and balls helps to:

• Improve coordination - essential for preventing falls
• Build functional strength - for everyday activities
• Enhance flexibility - to maintain range of motion
• Boost cardiovascular health - through rhythmic movement

The circuit training component with weights offers progressive resistance training, which has been shown to help prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). This is particularly important for maintaining metabolic health and bone density.

The Redcliffs Bowling Club provides a friendly, accessible venue with a supportive community atmosphere. Joining this class is also a fantastic way to connect with like-minded people in your local Christchurch community, combining physical activity with valuable social interaction.
