What to expect
When you arrive
On your first visit you will be asked to complete a confidential screening questionnaire to determine if there are any health or mobility issues that need to be addressed before and during class. I will always be there before and after class if there are any issues you wish to discuss or to address a specific goal during exercise.
FLexercise Class
As a fully qualified FLexercise teacher my classes are unique, part dance but all fun. The system is a mix of low impact physical exercises, yoga and movement designed to improve your posture, body alignment and balance leaving you with more energy and a spring in your step.

Throughout the session I will offer low impact and higher energy options, plus suggested adaptations so you can work at the right impact and intensity level for you.

It is important to maintain strong bones for a fracture free future. Regular exercise, good nutrition and lifestyle habits are essential. Loading bones through exercise helps the bones retain their density. Weight bearing exercises like those included in FLexercise make you work against gravity and help to strengthen bones.
​
Research suggests that exercise not only arrests the thinning of the bones, but can actually increase bone density.
