Many age related changes, that were once assumed to be solely the result of the ageing process, are partly the result of disease, and inactivity. There is no reason why you can't stay healthy as you age. Studies have shown that exercise is important for promoting good health, functional independence, and quality of life in older adults.

"Use it or lose it" is definitely the modern maxim.

It is clearly recognised that numerical age is of limited relevance in comparison with gender, heredity, health and lifestyle factors.

As a specialist exercise teacher of the older adult I am trained in the area of health-related exercise with regard to the older adult. This demands a thorough understanding of the ageing process and its implications for giving exercise related advice.

As a fully qualified YMCA Specialist Older Adult Trainer I have the necessary experience to develop both individual and class based exercises.

Participants are asked to complete a Pre Assessment Questionnaire before starting any of our programmes.

If you live in the Northwich or Winsford areas of Cheshire and are interested in exercises for the older adult then please contact Barbara by email or telephone on 07768 067914.
