‘Huff and puff’ sessions bring strength and balance


Once the Abba music starts at full volume, the strength and balance sessions at Arvida Peninsula Club community begin!
The weekly 45 minute exercise classes aren’t just about building strength and balance; they also include music, laughter, and community spirit.
As an Arvida Peninsula Club resident for seven years, Kay Thumath hadn’t been active for years and initially felt stiff and sore on a daily basis. She’s since found relief through the sit-to-stand exercises during the weekly sessions. "It really has made a difference to my life and I find it much easier when I get up from the chair at home," she says.
"People hear the name strength and balance class and they think it’s all serious, but in fact, we’re about fun so I like to call the sessions 'huff and puff'. Look, it’s easy, you don’t have to be the best exerciser in the world. Residents here come along, have fun, and do their best."
