Strictly No Falling

National recommendations from the Department of Health state that, as we get older, in order to get the health benefits of being active we should do the following:

• Aim to be active daily and try to do at least 2.5 hours of moderate intensity activity a week
• Do exercises to improve the strength of our muscles and bones.
• Do exercises to help improve our balance and coordination.

Strength and balance is considered to be one of the biggest interventions in reducing the risk of falls. All of the Strictly No Falling classes will include exercises to help you achieve these objectives. All of the staff working to deliver these sessions are well qualified and have been approved by the Falls Activity Advisors. The Strictly No Falling Poster has more information on how to access the classes.
