CANCELLED: Functional Fitness MOT – Coalbrookdale

Functional Fitness MOT
“It was an interesting session and the volunteer testers were great, so friendly and helpful. I took away a lot of really useful information and felt very inspired to join up with an exercise class in my area”. Hilary, Market Drayton.
Remaining physically active is vital to overall health and well-being, but as we age, we’re more likely to be less active, resulting in a loss of strength and balance and an increased risk of falling.
Community Resource delivers the ‘Functional Fitness MOT’ programmes which is designed to help to reduce the risk of falling for older people.
The event includes:
* One-to-one fitness tests measuring strength, balance, flexibility and stamina
* A short informative film
* An interactive demonstration to include how to get up safely from the floor after a fall
* Calling for help
* Gentle Exercises – with our trained and qualified instructor, you will be guided in gentle exercise for 30 minutes
Functional Fitness MOTs are open to people aged 60 – 95.
Places are limited, so please book in advance by phoning the Community Resource team on 01743 360641 or email enquiries@community-resource.org.uk and we will contact you to discuss the details.
