Exercise Classes for Seniors - for balance, coordination and posture.
New exercise courses being run by Steph McLennan, from Midland Community Pharmacy Group.
The classes are designed to ensure we
have the strength, balance flexibility and aerobic capacity to lead active independent lives. They also promote strength and stability to reduce the incidence of falls within the home.
The class leaders are well qualified in the field of senior health and mobility. Checks and balances will be regular to make sure that improvements are made as time goes on
.
The cost is $4 per class and run for 1 hour.
All exercise may be performed from a chair or seated position, although well suited for seniors (men or women), we find that younger visitors find it very useful too.
People may choose either
Perrinpark or Ngaruawahia classes or both.
They are two different formats, two different leaders but both have the same aims.
Comfy stable shoes, a bottle of water and loose
clothing is all that is required.
LOCATIONS:
Perrinpark - 1.30pm on Thursdays in the Perrinpark centre and 9.30am Ngaruawahia - 9.30am Tuesdays in the Memorial Hall next to the New World Car park.

Best way to use leftovers?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
