Strong and Steady FAQs
I get it's scary for older people to come along to an exercise class, especially if they have medical or health things going on and have never really "done" physical activity.
I'm always happy to chat to people before starting the class to reassure them and answer any questions they have. They are also welcome to just come down and meet everyone and see how the class works (people always end up joining in though!)
The class is really friendly and non judgemental, you don't have to wear any special kit. Just something that you are comfortable moving in and shoes that attach to your feet with laces or velcro.
You don't need to have any previous exercise experience. I show you how to do the exercises and will keep an eye on you through the class.
I am qualified in cardiac rehab, cancer rehab, exercise referral (which covers multiple health conditions) and I have a master's degree in sports therapy so I can advise on any niggles.
At the first session I will get them to complete a health questionnaire and go through any specific needs or worries they have.
I'm never going to ask anyone to do anything they aren't comfortable with, we start off gently and build up gradually.
I can adapt the exercises to suit everyone. Some people sit down, some people use heavier weights, some no weights. Some people sit some exercises out.
Most important is that we do have a laugh. It's a fun, laid back session with the current gang going for a coffee together afterwards.
