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.
