Steady As You Go Falls Prevention Classes in Ōtāne

Want to stay steady on your feet as you age? These Steady As You Go classes are geared towards older adults and focus on gentle exercises to build muscle strength and improve balance. Held at Otane Town Hall in Ōtāne, Hawke's Bay, the group sessions create a friendly space to move together and chat with others in the community. Each class runs for 60 minutes with seated warm-ups, standing exercises using chair support if needed, and a cool-down to relax.

Suitable for those with limited mobility or reasonable mobility, the programme helps prevent falls and keeps you mobile in daily life. As you get more confident, you can add ankle weights for a bit more challenge. The classes start with guidance from a trained instructor and shift to a peer-led style using an audio CD from the Otago Exercise Programme. It's a supportive way to boost your confidence and connect with locals while working on your wellbeing.
