Strength and balance classes can keep you doing
the things you enjoy
A local woman has put a spring in her step after joining
strength and balance classes that are keeping her doing the
things she enjoys.
Rita aged 77 from Ely joined the fun and sociable class at the
local library class having heard about it
from a friend after a recent fall. The class featured as part of
the successful Stronger for Longer campaign.
Rita said: “The class has helped me with my walking, strength,
balance, and posture, along with confidence outside of the
class.”
“I can see the difference in myself, I do a lot of walking and
since going to classes I am now able to walk that bit longer
without any problems – which means I can go out more and
enjoy with my friends.
“Coming to the class will improve your well‐being and help you
to keep active. You will meet new people and it can be fun.”
Since the launch of the Stronger for Longer campaign back in
October, over 100 new people have joined strength and bal-
ance classes around the county and are now stronger and
steadier. Over 2,300 people have also downloaded our Su-
persix leaflet, which is helping people to do strength and bal-
ance exercises at home at least twice a week.
Huntingdonshire District Council’s One Leisure Active Lifestyle
team run many falls prevention classes throughout the district.
You can pick up a leaflet from your local One Leisure centre,
GP surgery or library. Alternatively the brochure can be viewed
online at
