What is Gentle Movement? Classes involve low impact, seated activities which could include boccia (similar to French boules), shibashi/qigong movements, indoor curling, coordination activities or seated exercise to music.
What is Strength & Balance? Designed to support balance and mobility. Suitable for people unsteady on their feet, who are worried about falling or have had a fall. These classes are very low impact and mostly seated.
Stroll & Strength Walks are low mobility walks which include a short 20 minute walk and 10-15 minutes of strength and balance exercises. These walks are suitable for people who walk at a slower pace or perhaps use walking aids. The exercises are important for improving strength, balance, stamina, flexibility and can help prevent falls.
Walking groups are a supportive and welcoming way for you to start to enjoy the many benefits of being physically active. We have a range of weekly walks available across Dumfries & Galloway and they are FREE to attend.
