Joan regularly attends the Mickleover Postural Stability class, it makes her feel brighter and more mobile every time she’s done it! She was introduced to the class by the Forever Active programme which supports older adults to enjoy the benefits of regular physical activity by making it apart of every day life.
Find out the class has helped Joan to move more easily and have fun at the same time!:
1. What do you like about how the class is delivered?
“I prefer it now that we sit in a big circle because I can see everyone smiling more than when we sat in rows. It’s more inclusive, people can see me, and I can see them. I can also observe movements on others and see if anyone is having any problems.”
2. Ellie’s class includes music and dance do you like this and if so, why?
“I like it because as soon as the music comes on your feet start tapping and it gets you moving. The music gives a nice feel to the class. You’re thinking about the music instead of your aches and pains. It makes you feel brighter. I‘ve always liked music.”
3. Have you noticed any positive impacts to your health/wellbeing/mobility since starting the class?
“I can feel the difference in my mobility as I am more mobile now since starting the class. It’s so easy to just sit at home. I feel a lot brighter when I’ve done the class. It gives me encouragement to come back.”
4. Can you give three words to describe the FAME class?
“Motivation and Fun”
