Maintaining regular exercise isn’t reserved for the young and athletic. Regular movement and activity is so important for ageing bodies too. Castle Hill Gymnastics

Not only has gentle movement and exercise been proven to increase mobility and cognitive functions, it also releases endorphins that also have positive impacts on mental health and wellbeing.

Mr. Brett Andrews, CHRG General Manager of Health, Fitness & Sport said “Our Fitter for Life program at Castle Hill Fitness and Aquatic Centre is a fun, fundamental movement program and social opportunity targeted at Seniors, that aims to help improve mobility, strength, and coordination.”

The skills developed in the Fitter for Life program are used for common activities, such as:
• Walking up and down a flight of stairs;
• Hanging out the washing;
• Bending down or reaching up into cupboards; and
• Playing with grandchildren.

The incredible benefits of this program include:
• Improving aerobic capacity;
• Extending independence;
• Increased muscle strength and balance; and
