Benefits of Balance & Strength Training for Kiwis πΏ
Balance and strength exercises are essential for maintaining independence and mobility as we age. Our "Keep on your Feet" classes are specifically designed for older adults looking to:
- Improve stability and prevent falls π‘οΈ
- Build functional strength for everyday activities
- Enhance coordination and flexibility
- Connect with others in a supportive environment π₯
These classes are perfect whether you use a walking aid, feel a bit unsteady on your feet, or simply want to maintain your current mobility. Our instructor provides modifications to ensure everyone can participate comfortably and safely.
Research shows that regular balance and strength training can significantly reduce fall risk while improving confidence and quality of life. Our music-based approach makes exercise enjoyable rather than a chore!
Each session incorporates a mix of seated and standing exercises, allowing you to progress at your own pace. You'll notice improvements in everyday activities like getting up from chairs, climbing stairs, and maintaining balance when walking on uneven surfaces.
Join our friendly Katikati community of exercisers where you'll be welcomed regardless of your fitness level. The social aspect of our classes provides motivation and makes staying active something to look forward to each week! π
