Courses for seniors: How to stay fit and fall -free in old age!

In Cologne there is now a new course that is specially intended for older people to promote their health and fitness. Under the motto "Enter the future", a program for people between 65 and 90 years is offered that focuses on strengthening mobility, strength and balance. The experienced René Stieger is responsible for the management. The course starts on July 21 with an information event, and participation is free for interested parties. The course units that take place over a period of nine weeks last around 60 minutes.

Health is going on, especially in old age. The regular movement is crucial, not only to maintain physical fitness, but also to prevent falls that can have serious consequences in old age. Gesundheit.gv.at explains that those movement skills such as endurance, strength and skill can also be trained in old age. An active 70-year-old may have more energy than an untrained 30-year-old! This shows that it is never too late to do something for your own fitness.

Why fall prevention is important

The consequences of falls can be serious, including thigh neck fractures and long rehabilitation times. Gesundaktivtakt-elter-werden.de emphasizes that anxious older people tend to move less after a fall. This often leads to a vicious circle: less movement ensures muscle breakdown, which in turn increases the risk of falling. In order to counteract this, movement programs that are specifically aimed at the needs of older people are essential. This is where the new course comes in: Through targeted exercises, physical fitness is promoted, which decisively supports independence in old age.

The information event will take place on Monday, July 21st, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the Aktiv-Treff, Max-Herm-Straße 67. Interested parties do not have to have any previous knowledge, and registration is possible both by phone with René Stieger at 0173 6137584 and directly on site. For further details, this website can be called up.

old can be a pleasure if you stay active and train your mobility. The course "Enter the Future" offers an excellent opportunity to take the first step into a fitter, self -determined life. Every step counts, be there!
