Our Exercise Classes at Cura Aged Care
We had a wonderful and fun exercise session with a group of five and our amazing instructor, Annette, today. Our exercise classes are held every Tuesday and Wednesday, featuring different types of exercises based on our fitness instructor’s weekly plan. This time, the group focused on strength, mobility, and a bit of Tai Chi at the end of the session. Our care worker, Hidemi, supports Annette during the class. If you know her, yes, she’s the lady who teaches Tai Chi. Starting the fresh morning with some exercise – how energetic! This is the secret to why our seniors are always happy! At Cura Aged Care, we understand the importance of physical activity for seniors. Our Wellness Centre offers a variety of exercise classes designed to meet the needs of our residents. These classes are not only beneficial for physical health but also provide a great opportunity for social interaction and mental stimulation.
Benefits of Our Exercise Classes
- Social Interaction: Outings provide an excellent opportunity for seniors to socialise, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. Engaging with peers helps build a sense of community and belonging.
- Mental Stimulation: Exploring new places and participating in activities can stimulate the mind, keeping seniors mentally active and engaged.
- Physical Activity: Walking around parks and participating in light activities during outings promote physical health and mobility.
- Emotional Well-being: Spending time with friends and enjoying new experiences can boost mood and overall emotional well-being.
- Cost-Effective: Bus trips are an affordable way to explore new destinations without the hassle of driving or parking.
A Typical Exercise Session
A typical exercise session at our Wellness Centre starts with a warm-up to get the muscles ready for activity. This is followed by a series of exercises that focus on different aspects of fitness, such as strength, mobility, and balance. Our instructor, Annette, ensures that each exercise is performed correctly and safely, providing modifications as needed to accommodate different fitness levels. During the session, our care worker, Hidemi, assists Annette and provides additional support to the participants. Hidemi is well-known for her Tai Chi classes, and she often incorporates elements of Tai Chi into the exercise sessions. Tai Chi is a gentle form of exercise that improves balance, flexibility, and mental focus, making it ideal for seniors.
