Benefits of Balance & Strength Training for Seniors
πͺ Steady As You Go classes are specifically designed to help older adults maintain and improve their balance, strength, and overall mobility. These gentle exercises can make a world of difference in your daily life.
Regular participation in SAYGO classes offers numerous health benefits:
- Fall prevention: Improved balance and stability reduces the risk of falls, a common concern for many older Kiwis
- Increased confidence: Feeling more secure in your movements helps maintain independence
- Social connection: Exercise in a supportive group environment with like-minded people
- Improved circulation: Gentle movement promotes better blood flow throughout the body
- Better joint health: Regular, appropriate exercise helps maintain joint mobility
π The combination of sitting, standing and walking exercises ensures everyone can participate at their own pace. Our inclusive approach means you'll never feel out of place, whether you're completely new to exercise or looking to maintain your existing abilities.
No special equipment or experience is needed - just wear comfortable clothes and supportive footwear. The friendly atmosphere at Maidstone Sports Hub makes it easy to become part of our welcoming community while working on your health and wellbeing.
