Fit After 50

Safe Exercise for Over 50s

It's essential to consult with a doctor before starting any new exercise programme, especially if you have any health concerns. Many gyms in New Zealand offer joint-friendly options, such as water-based classes or low-impact aerobics, which can be modified to suit individual needs. Research has shown that exercise programmes that incorporate strength training, flexibility, and balance exercises can help prevent falls and injuries in older adults.
