50+ Keep Fit & 50+ Body Aware

Both exercise classes are very popular, fun and friendly socialble classes; in fact I think most people come mainly so that they can all meet up for a chat in the coffee shop afterwards!!

Exercise is always important for maintaining and improving your overall health but it becomes even more important as you get older. Regular exercise will increase bone strength and density, help to lower high blood pressure and ‘bad’ cholesterol and boost the immune system helping to ward off coughs, colds and infections. Regular exercise also helps keep your heart healthy, greatly reducing the risk of heart disease.
