Getting old is tough!

Written by one of my class members, Mr P of Welwyn.

Let’s face it, getting old is tough, possibly the hardest part of anyone’s life, and at a time when we feel least able to cope with its challenges.

Getting up out of a chair, climbing stairs, keeping one’s balance, avoiding trips and falls, lifting bags of shopping, things that when we were younger never seemed to be a problem, can suddenly become so much harder.

So, how should we face up to reduced mobility, strength and agility?

Suzina’s regular exercise classes are simple, local, and reasonably priced (pay as you go). What’s more, they can be done while sitting in a chair. Anyone can do them, at the same time as enjoying socialising with others.

By avoiding muscle wastage; maintaining a minimum core strength; those everyday tasks can become less of a challenge, because none of us want to turn into a couch potato, do we? Getting old is tough enough on its own!
