Kiwi Seniors: Active Fitness Class for Older Adults

Kiwi Seniors Active Fitness Class

Are you ready to stay active and have some fun with others? This upright group exercise class is set to music and designed for older adults who can move independently. It takes place at St Marys Anglican Church in Waipukurau, Hawke's Bay. The class suits over 65s with good mobility, fitness, and confidence in physical activities, though it's also open to those 55 and over who are Māori or Pasifika, or at increased fall risk if they can participate safely.

You will enjoy a social workout that builds connections while keeping you fit. The session starts with a functional movement warm-up, moves into challenging combinations that work your mind and body, and ends with a cool-down using relaxation techniques like Tai Chi elements. Regular classes like this help improve cardiovascular health, enhance balance and coordination to reduce fall risk, maintain muscle strength and joint mobility, boost mental health through social interaction, and improve cognitive function by learning movements to music. Come join the friendly group and feel the benefits of staying active together.
