This combination of exercise has a number of benefits; it helps to maintain a healthy weight, reduces risk of falls by strengthening the muscles, it's linked to supporting thinking skills, boosts mood and energy levels and it’s social.
If you haven’t exercised in a while, don’t worry the class focuses on gentle exercise to help regain fitness at your own pace. However, if you are used to exercising it can be tailored to be more strenuous.
