A Move it or Lose it class is designed to provide safe, effective, and age-appropriate exercises
for older adults. The class focuses on improving strength, flexibility, balance, and cardiovascular
health through a combination of low-impact aerobic exercises, strength training, stretching, and
balance activities.
The exercise programme is low to moderate intensity and can be done seated or standing
dependent upon the Berg Balance Test results. There is no floor work, no high intensity or heavy
weights involved, no jumping or high impact, no unsupported forward flexion or uncontrolled
twisting.
Each session is tailored to accommodate various fitness levels and abilities, ensuring that
participants can perform exercises safely and at their own pace. Qualified instructors provide
modifications as needed and emphasise proper form and technique.
