Age no barrier to good health
A GROUP of local seniors is proving that age is no barrier when it comes to fun and fitness.
Three times a week a group of men and women, most aged between their early 60s through to late 80s, are enjoying a 45-minute gym session at Camperdown’s Infinite Health Co. – and their hard work is paying off.
“These classes focus on slips, trips and falls prevention but there is always a focus on making it fun while giving them all a little challenge along the way,” team manager at Infinite Health Co., Melissa Pitman, said.
“We work together to combine both strength and agility work so they can build confidence and muscle all at once.
“They also stick around after their sessions to enjoy a hot drink and a chat in our café; they’re a fantastic group of men and women who just go to show it’s never too late to start.”
Melissa said her team regularly receives comments about how much stronger participants feel during their everyday lives.
“We’ve also helped some members achieve things like long distance pack hikes, cycling on holidays and back to balancing on one leg while putting on their socks each morning,” she said.
