Benefits of Barre Exercise for Seniors 👵👴

Barre exercise combines elements of ballet, Pilates, and strength training, making it an excellent low-impact workout for older adults. It's particularly beneficial for improving balance, posture, and core strength—all essential for maintaining independence as we age.

The Never2Old Barre class at AUT Gym has been specifically adapted to meet the needs of active seniors, focusing on:

• Improved balance: Reduce fall risk through controlled movements and stability exercises
• Better posture: Strengthen back muscles and increase body awareness
• Increased flexibility: Gentle stretching to maintain joint mobility
• Core strength: Build abdominal and back muscles for everyday activities
• Social connection: Exercise in a supportive group environment with peers

This class uses a combination of standing exercises with the support of a barre (or chair) and seated movements, making it accessible for those with reasonable to good mobility. The exercises can be modified to suit your individual needs and fitness level. 🌟

The Never2Old programme at AUT Gym is designed to help you maintain an active and independent lifestyle in a supportive environment. Join us and discover how barre exercise can help you stay strong, mobile and confident as you age.
