TRAC classes encouraging over 50s to stay active

Exercise activities for Over 50s at the Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre Murwillumbah are being expanded, following funding through the Staying Active program.

New aqua fitness classes aimed at Over 50s have begun at TRAC from Friday 10 November, along with the introduction of a dry-land exercise class.

A gentle exercise class, using the resistance of the water in an indoor heated pool, began today and will run each Monday. Participants will be guided through a gentle routine of movements and stretches designed to improve personal health and well-being.

More active seniors can participate in a high-intensity class using aqua strength equipment, each Wednesday from 15 November.

Dry-land exercise classes using chairs, music and small weights are being held on Fridays.

The dry-land and gentle aqua exercise classes are being held from 10am to 10.45am, while the high energy classes will run from 8.30am to 9.30am.

All Staying Active classes will be followed by a morning tea, to give participants further opportunity to ask questions and find out more about looking after their health.

The new classes, provided through assistance by the Aquatic and Recreation Institute and NSW Government, will complement existing aquatic exercise classes provided at TRAC Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads.
