Arm raises and leg lifts are just some of the gentle exercises being enjoyed by our St Catherine’s residents in a new class held in the home’s spacious lounge.
Residents carefully followed all the actions of the ‘move it or lose it’ class on the home’s big screen projector, with Activity Co-ordinator, Kat Brennan on hand to give lots of support and encouragement, too.
“We’ll be following the routines each week,” said Kat, “which are all specially designed to improve strength and mobility in older people.”
The chair-based exercises – set to inspirational and memorable music – attracted a full house, with many residents in their 80’s and 90’s giving them a try for the first time. “This just proves you’re never too old to exercise!” added Kat.
