Steady and Strong classes teach exercises to improve strength and balance which help you to live independently and actively for longer. The exercises in the classes also help to prevent falls. They can help you with everyday actions such as:
- Getting out of a chair, a car or a bath
- Picking things up from the floor
- Walking up and down stairs
- Staying steady when walking
All Steady and Strong instructors are specially trained to teach exercises which help to prevent falls in older people.
Class information
The class is 1 hour. It consists of a warm-up, strengthening and balance exercises, some fitness and coordination exercises, followed by a cool down. We have refreshments and a chat afterwards.
What to wear
- Loose, comfortable clothing
- Trousers rather than a skirt or a dress
- Flat-heeled shoes that provide support and grip
- Layers so that you can remove a layer as you get warmer.
