mental and physical wellbeing for older adults

Last year we delivered 'WALK and TALK' sessions, encouraging our participants to benefit from 30 mins of steady paced brisk walking for their social but pulse raising exercise.  This year we are launching the NEW 'Scrabble Club at the Beach'.  Studies have shown significant evidence to suggest regularly engaging your brain can reduce the risk of dementia in later life (https://www.helpguide.org/articles/alzheimers-dementia-aging/preventing-alzheimers-disease.htm ) so we are exercising that grey matter of yours with a social game of Scrabble followed by a supervised 1 mile walk (no exercise walk in winter months).  There is free fruit so you can tick off your five a day but please bring water, comfortable shoes and a hat.  The sessions are aimed at participants over 50 years old.  If you would like to book in for a health and fitness assessment so you get the most out of the physical exercise component of this session please contact us on 07961924950 to book.  If you only want to play scrabble, that is fine too.
