Exercise classes for the elderly

This is an amazing achievement for a woman who survived four years in Auschwitz.

As more and more people are living longer, there are increasing numbers of senior citizens contemplating the prospect of 10, 15 or more years of retirement. What are they going to do during these years? Enter the SA Seniors Fitness Association (SASFA).

SASFA aims to enable senior citizens to socialise more and feel healthy by presenting exercise and recreational programmes in a relaxed environment.

A seniors’ fitness programme focuses on flexibility, balance, co-ordination, stamina, muscle strengthening and cardiovascular exercises. These exercises are set to enjoyable and stimulating music. Senior instructors are all fully trained and must hold a National Certificate.
