Why Strength and Balance Training Is Essential for Kiwis 🇳🇿

Strength and balance training is vital for maintaining independence and quality of life as we age. These classes are specifically designed to help you stay steady on your feet and reduce the risk of falls – a common concern for many New Zealanders.

During each session, you'll participate in exercises that:

• Build muscle strength in key areas including legs, arms and core
• Improve balance and stability through targeted movements
• Enhance bone density to reduce fracture risks
• Boost confidence in everyday movements and activities

Regular attendance at strength and balance classes has been shown to significantly reduce fall risks by up to 30%. For many participants, these sessions also provide valuable social connections and a supportive community environment.

Perfect for adults looking to maintain their independence and mobility, our class offers modifications to suit your individual needs while still providing an effective workout. The exercises taught can easily be incorporated into your daily routine at home between classes.

Don't let concerns about falls limit your lifestyle. Join our friendly group at Milson Community Centre and take proactive steps toward better strength, improved balance, and continued independence. 🏋️‍♀️
