Fitness Classes for Older People
Keeping fit is important for our health, no matter how young or old, but as age begins to catch up, hard core exercise typically isn't an option. There are, however, plenty of fitness classes available for the more mature. Some great suggestions are Pilates, Aerobics, Yoga and the Gym. Shown below is more information.
Pilates
This gentle, low-impact exercise method is a great choice if you struggle with back pain or if you're currently unfit. Focusing on strengthening the core, including abdominal and back muscles, it promotes improved posture, circulation, flexibility and balance, and can help to prevent falls and injury. There are classes available at all our centres no matter what your age or level of fitness.

Aerobics
A great option for those who need to improve their cardiovascular fitness, there's an aerobics class for everyone, whether you're a beginner or an exercise fan. Instructors know that warm up and down is important so you'll be led through the class without risking injury, and though classes are usually aimed at one particular level, the movements can be easily adjusted to suit your own ability. As well as traditional aerobics classes, there are step classes, which burn calories more quickly, and aqua aerobics (aquafit), which is ideal for those who are overweight or who have joint problems, since it is low impact.

If you're asking if you should get your child swimming the answer is a resounding YES!
There are three main reasons why your child should swim:
* 1 out of 3 kids say swimming is their favourite family activity!
* It can help save their life! Sadly, drowning is still the third most common form of accidental death for children.
* It opens up a whole new world. Just imagine, your child will be able to splash around with family and friends, dream of becoming the next Olympic champion or just have a fantastic time on holiday getting in the pool or sea.
And don't worry about learning to swim being complicated. It's a natural step in a child's development. Babies are in fluid in the womb for nine months so are comfortable in the water almost from the minute they are born as long as they feel safe. The best way to make sure your son or daughter has confidence in the water is to get them in the pool as soon as possible.
Why not look at our fantastic range of courses we run or contact us for more information.
