Fitness classes for older adults coming to Crich in January
A new fitness programme that helps older people to turn back the clock is soon to arrive in Crich.
‘Move it or Lose it with Jayne’ exercise classes are aimed at those who might think they are too old to exercise and avoid the gym, but who want to stay active and younger for longer.
The group sessions will be delivered by Jayne Russell, a qualified instructor who encourages and motivates her clients to join in and have fun whatever their age, gender or ability. Each exercise class helps to improve flexibility, aerobic health, balance and strength (FABS for short). Jayne says behind the fun and social aspect of the classes is a serious mission to help people stay independent for longer.
“Research shows that 25% of women and 7% of men over the age of 70 do not have sufficient leg strength to get out of a chair without using their arms. This is when the problems begin as they are at risk of losing their strength and with it their independence. Just doing the right exercises can turn back the clock so people can keep doing the things they love for longer.”
Originally launched in 2010, Move it or Lose it has proved to be popular with the older generation as the classes offer opportunities to socialise and make new friends, as well as exercise along with noticeable benefits to their mobility, health and wellbeing.
Classes will begin with a FREE taster session at Crich Glebe Community Centre on Thursday 8th January at 2pm. Places are limited and booking is essential. Weekly classes will begin the following Thursday and the cost per class will be £6.50.
For more details, or to book your place, please email jayne.russell@moveitorloseit.co.uk or call Jayne on 07352 167001.
