Strength and mobility for everyday life: get fit for summer (all levels)

About this course

Sessions use a graduated approach to cardiovascular fitness, functional strength and mobility, with exercises for the legs, hips, arms and upper body. Core work addresses posture and spinal support, while balance, coordination, agility and stretching activities develop control and ease of movement. Exercises are revisited across the course and gradually made more challenging. The sessions use music and are paced to support participation from a base level, including low-impact cardiovascular activity and movement relevant to everyday activities.
