Benefits of Balance Training for Older Adults 🌟

Balance training is essential for maintaining independence and preventing falls as we age. SAYGO classes provide a supportive environment where you can:

• Build confidence in your everyday movements
• Improve stability for daily activities
• Strengthen leg muscles that support good posture and balance
• Enhance coordination through gentle, progressive exercises
• Connect with others in your community

These classes are specially designed for those who might be unsure about physical activity or have some mobility limitations. The mixture of seated and standing exercises ensures everyone can participate at their own pace and ability level.

Regular attendance at balance classes like SAYGO has been shown to reduce fall risk and improve quality of life for many Kiwis. The gradual progression of exercises helps build strength over time in a safe, monitored environment.

Join us at the Newtown Community Centre and take a positive step toward better balance and increased confidence in your daily activities. 💪
