Steady As You Go Falls Prevention Class - Hastings

Steady As You Go Falls Prevention Class in Hastings

The Steady As You Go class offers weekly exercises to build muscle strength, improve balance, and help prevent falls for seniors. It takes place at the Hastings Age Concern Hall in Hawke's Bay. This programme suits people with limited mobility, including those who use walking aids, as well as those with reasonable mobility.

The group setting provides a supportive environment where seniors can work together on practical strength and balance activities. These exercises focus on lower body strength for stability, balance training to reduce wobbliness, core stability for better posture, and functional movements for everyday tasks. Joining the class also helps build confidence and independence while connecting with others in the community.
