Strength and Mobility Training
Did you know that your body’s muscular strength decreases about 10% per decade? And that by the age of 80, you may have lost 60% of your muscle strength, leading to increased risk of osteoporosis? Our fitness instructor, Rod, knows the benefits of addressing these problems firsthand, and has developed a very effective program of resistance exercises to build and regain muscle strength, tailored specifically for older adults.
Rod leads our ‘Strength and Mobility Training’ class (formerly called Fitness), on a Wednesday morning from 9:30-10:30am. He has a Certificate III and IV in Fitness and has conducted over 1,200 training sessions with clients over 50. He’s written a wonderful blog article about the benefits of strength training – it’s linked to in this email and is well worth a read. Find Rod’s article here!
We’re delighted to offer you the opportunity to try out Rod’s Strength and Mobility Training class for free during the month of July. All of Rod’s classes will be free for that month and we’d love for you to come along and see what strength training is all about! Just sign up for his classes through our website. You can also find more information about Rod at his website, https://www.fullerfit.com.au/. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions – you can reach Rod at Rod@fullerfit.com.au, or Meagan at silversalties@sandringhamlsc.org.au.
