Join instructor Jill Nelson for 55+ BFF, the missing link fitness class for keeping you steady on your feet, post physio rehab, and functionally strong for daily life.
BFF stands for Balance, Function and Fitness. Although it is targeted for the 55+ crowd, adult injury recovery or post-surgical participants will benefit as well.
You will learn how to become stronger and more steady on your feet plus get a full body workout.
Everyone will work at their own level in this dynamic class, and handouts for home exercises will be provided.
Participants must be independently mobile on their feet and sign an informed consent/waiver form. If possible, please bring a broom stick (or Nordic pole) with a rubber tip on one end, even if you occasionally use a cane or walker. Any other equipment will be provided.
Most exercising will be done standing; some strength and flexibility exercises in sitting.
The class runs Mondays from March 17 to May 28, 10:30-11:30 a.m. at the Little Red Church in Comox. Fee is $10 drop-in or $75 for nine sessions.
The goals of this class are: improving mobility, increasing functional strength and balance, post rehab injury recovery, falls prevention, complementing your current fitness routine, and most importantly, having fun.
Nelson has been working with injury and surgical recovery clients for over a decade and supporting ICBC clients for exercise therapy. In the community and at St. Joseph’s Hospital she works with the 55+ crowd helping to keep them strong and on their feet longer.
"If participants are comfortable in a group situation, but working at their own pace, come and experience the easy to follow format and progression to better functional fitness," Nelson said. "55+ BFF, your new 'best friend forever' for life!"
