Every Wednesday and Friday morning in Boort and Tuesday mornings in Pyramid Hill Boort District Health offers a strength building exercises program under the supervision of our Allied Health Team Coordinator
Exercise and physical activity are great ways to have fun, be with friends and family and can also have a direct impact on the everyday health and well-being of people.
The program concentrates on assisting people to build an exercise routine that focuses on four areas that are important for staying healthy and independent: endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility.
Research suggests that people can maintain or at least partially restore these four areas through exercise and physical activity and that doing so improves fitness.
We asked the participants why they came to the exercise classes and the results they experienced. Here are some of their comments:
“Company and friendship”
“Enjoy the cuppa and a chat”
“Exercise gives great results”
“Age is not barrier” (from a 96 year old)
“Helps with the pain”
“(I) feel it when I miss a session”
“Decreases stiffness and increases mobility”
