Did you know that we start to lose muscle from age 30? This affects our strength and balance, making a fall more likely as we get older. But strength and balance exercises slash your risk of falling, helping you to stay strong, steady and independent.
You can find a way that works for you, whether that’s in a class, outside, in a group or on your own at home. There are lots of affordable options.
East Sussex Public Health are running some local events, giving away FREE anti-slip slippers, tips to prevent falls and exercise ideas.
If you know anyone that may be interested details are:
- 1 October, 10am-2pm: Broomgrove Community Centre, Hastings
- 14 October, 10am-1pm: Central Hall, Hastings
Stay strong, stay steady, stay independent!
