Why Balance & Strength Training Matters for Wellbeing ðŸ§
Balance and strength exercises are vital components of maintaining independence and mobility as we age. The Steady As You Go programme offers exercises specifically designed for those with limited to reasonable mobility, making it accessible for most fitness levels.
Regular attendance at SAYGO classes can help:
- Reduce the risk of falls and related injuries
- Improve confidence in everyday movement
- Maintain independence longer
- Strengthen crucial leg muscles
- Enhance overall stability and coordination
- Provide a supportive social environment
The combination of sitting and standing exercises ensures everyone can participate at their own pace. The programme progressively builds strength and balance through gentle, effective movements guided by experienced instructors.
No special equipment or previous experience is needed - just wear comfortable clothing and supportive footwear. The friendly, non-competitive atmosphere makes this an ideal class for those new to exercise or returning after a break.
Join our community at the Tawa Community Centre and take a positive step toward better balance, improved strength, and enhanced wellbeing. At only $3 per session, it's an affordable investment in your health and independence. 💪
