It is great to have a large indoor space to walk together, listen to music and chat, and also have the opportunity to rest when needed.
I’m feeling better and am more active, and people are noticing a difference.
It’s also made a big impact on my mental health and wellbeing.
I never thought I would find anything to replace my beloved hill walking, but I think I may just have found it.
Now, I can even go in to the deep end which I couldn’t when I started.
The exercise has improved my arm strength, and I feel more relaxed when I finish a session.
I love coming to the session, I leave feeling energised and look forward to coming each week, it’s one of my favourite things.
Clive makes it lots of fun and its good getting to know the others who have started coming.
Neither of us are swimmers but I am more confident in the water, and I can hold myself up rather than falling all over the place.
It makes common sense as we get old, being taught the correct way to get up if we have a fall.
Becoming more stable by doing the exercises helps too and shows that we can get up without assistance. If I hadn’t been shown how to get up then I would previously shouted for Pat to help. Something she finds hard work.
This is inspiring work by Be Well.
The focus on self-management, including how to get off the floor is brilliant.
We need to provide awareness and support to the public on how they can prevent falls and promote good bone health. Well done.
