Older People
For the more mature amongst us physical
activity and exercise is now being recognised as a major factor in
affecting and improving our quality of life. From weight
management to carrying out everyday tasks such as standing up from
a low chair. Research has shown great strength improvements in over
50's starting a program of resistance exercise. Then there is the
social side, don't think exercise has to be in the gym. Go for a
walk, swim or what about dancing?
Staffordshire Council has a wide range of leisure centre and
community based activities specifically aimed at older people
including the Active Generation Programme that runs at all South
Staffordshire Council Leisure Centres which includes swimming
and gym sessions, as well as a variety of walks.
