Make sure that there is no physical reason why you should not commence a programme of fitness and mobility rehabilitation, by seeking medical advice
before you start. Health professionals recommend that older individuals adopt
and maintain a regular physical activity programme in order to prevent injury
and disease, and to maintain physical independence. It's never to late to start an exercise programme! Whether you're 25 or 65,cardiovascular exercise and resistance training can make the difference in the quality of your life as you age.

Why here?

Research has shown that one of the biggest reasons older adults do not exercise is intimidation: you don’t know where or how to start, and the atmosphere in gymnasiums or fitness centres is overwhelming. If you've been thinking about starting an exercise regime, delay no longer. 'Fitnwell' has the workout for you!

When you have built up your confidence, then you can go to the fitness centre and take your 'workout' with you. Or, having got yourself perhaps a little more confident here, you will be able to discuss your personal requirements with a little more knowledge.

The daily benefits of regular exercise are numerous. Getting out of bed in the morning and performing daily chores becomes easier. Physical activity relieves stiff, aching joints and muscles, increases energy, and enhances overall well-being. Not only will you be able to move without pain, but you'll feel good too!
