Living Longer Living Stronger is a progressive strength and balance program designed to improve your strength, balance, and mobility.
It doesn’t matter if you have never done an exercise class before, or if you are relatively unfit. Each person will be individually assessed for their physical level and a tailored exercise program will be created for each attendee. The classes are designed for people of all levels of ability. Through regular attendance, you will gradually increase the level of work you do to develop your strength.
Strength training benefits include: increasing muscles mass and strength, improving insulin sensitivity, improving joint health, improving cognitive function and reduces anxiety and depression, improving balance and confidence in the way you move, improving coordination and reduces your risk of falls and other injuries, increasing brain function and learning
A qualified exercise professional from SHARE who has undertaken accredited training through Council on the Ageing NSW (COTA) will lead the class. They have a good understanding of the needs of older people and will create a friendly environment that you will feel comfortable in. The program provides an opportunity for socialising and meeting new people.
