Getting older doesn't mean slowing down; it means moving smarter. Staying active in your later years is one of the best ways to boost energy, prevent falls, ease joint pain, and stay independent. This course offers a practical approach to senior fitness, focusing on the unique needs of the ageing body and providing simple, achievable ways to stay active safely and consistently.
You’ll begin by understanding how ageing affects muscles, joints, balance, and heart health, and why movement is essential at every stage of life. You’ll then learn how to exercise safely with proper warm-ups, cool-downs, hydration, and adjustments for medical conditions. The course also guides you in building a balanced weekly routine that includes strength, flexibility, balance, and cardiovascular activities, using minimal equipment and simple exercises that can be done at home.
In the final part of the course, you'll explore how to stay consistent and motivated, even when challenges arise. You'll learn how to set realistic goals, build habits, involve others for support, and adapt your routine over time. This course is ideal for seniors looking to stay active, independent, and confident in their movement. Whether you're just starting or getting back into fitness, these lessons offer guidance and encouragement. Start today and take charge of your health, one step at a time.
