3 Reasons Over 55s Need To Exercise
As we age, staying active becomes even more important, and at Worx Fitness on the Sunshine Coast, we're passionate about making exercise fun for everyone, especially for seniors and those over 55.
Who says that being over a certain age means you should slow down!! We want you to live the best life you can! Fitness has no age limit.
We understand the unique challenges and goals of exercising as we get older, and our fitness classes are specifically designed to meet your needs. Whether you're a fitness freak or just trying out fitness classes for the first time, our range of classes offers something for every level.
In this blog post, we will be taking a look into three key reasons why exercise is essential for those over 55, and how our classes at Worx Fitness can help you to get all of the benefits!
1. Exercise Is Important For Physical and Mental Health
Staying active helps prevent or delay age-related health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. It is also important in improving mental well-being, reducing stress, and enhancing mood.
Whether you choose our aerial yoga, reformer pilates, or circuit training, our Sunshine Coast fitness classes will help to get you feeling fitter and sharper in no time!
2. Enhances Strength, Flexibility, and Balance
Exercise is important for maintaining strength, flexibility, and balance, all of which are important as we age. Our fitness classes are tailored to build on these, helping you stay agile and independent in your older years!
The goal is to live a long happy and healthy independent life! Staying fit and healthy will mean less health issues!
Strong balance at an older age leads to more confidence, fewer trips & stumbles, and a great sense of independence and increase in self esteem.
In our reformer pilates class, you will work on building balance, strength and flexibility. Plus, it is gentle and easy!
3. Social Interaction and Community
While our classes will help get you fit, they aren’t just about that. By joining our fitness community, you'll have the chance to meet new friends and locals. Getting fit at Worx Fitness is a fun and social affair!
