Who is Forever Young for?
Forever Young is for all those people who say, “I used to be able to do that”.
Have you ever noticed you change the way you do things or completely avoid an activity because it is getting too much or it is painful?
Limited movement is not an everyday part of aging; you do not need to have those constant aches and pains.
Of course, there are natural consequences of ageing, however implementing strategies like the Forever Young program, which is designed to keep you feeling forever young, will help create a foundation where you can continue doing the things you love to do. Not only does it build a more durable and resilient body it promotes longevity.
The program is for all men and women aged 55 plus, wanting to find enjoyment in their movement again. You will be coached by an accredited Exercise Physiologist who will tailor the program to your individual needs.
CORE FOUNDATIONS create a training environment for your body to re-learn and re-connect through fun, challenging training programs all designed to have you moving better and feeling great.
How does Forever Young work?
Forever Young is a small group session that brings together people with similar goals and movement capability. In order to place you in an appropriate group each client first participates in an individual consultation called the Foundation Session. This initial session is designed to assess movement capability and to understand more about you as an individual and what you are looking for from your activity. By assessing current movement levels we are then able to tailor the group session to suit each client’s specific areas of focus and provide a benchmark to measure progress against.
Each group session covers a range of exercises designed to support:
- Becoming more in tune with your body
- Improving range of movement in joints
- Getting up from the floor more comfortably and confidently
- Keeping hearts healthy
- Improving strength and durability
- Keeping up with the youngsters
Each Forever Young group consists of no more than 8 people who are matched via age, level of fitness and confidence. We do this to ensure the most comfortable and safe environment for our clients.
Each Forever Young session goes for 45 mins and consists of a variety of exercises covering the three main focus areas of ground to standing, strength and balance and unloaded movement. Our programs are never one size fits all and each exercise can be adjusted to fit our clients’ particular needs.
You can expect a fun, engaging and challenging individualised exercises.
Follow up sessions and re-assessments measure progress and we continue to adapt your program aligned to your development.
