Standing for too long, sitting for more than one hour, or going up and down stairs can be challenging as we age! Don’t give up! You may have lost some motivation to do day-to-day tasks, but that doesn’t mean you can’t turn things around. Even if it’s only baby steps at first, you can build the lifestyle you want for yourself – one that’s low-impact and enjoyable.
Our Staying Active classes are effective but fun exercise classes for over 50s. You’ll have the chance to meet people from a range of backgrounds who are like you and want to stay active and healthy for as long as possible. You’ll also learn how movement can help with pain management, how better posture can help preserve joint mobility, and how arthritis-related discomfort could be eased with easy exercises. Whether you want to get your mobility back because arthritis or osteoporosis is “holding” you back or just want to increase your energy, alertness, and mental clarity, Staying Active classes can be a great way to get started!
