A monthly exercise class is inspiring residents at Regis Gate Extra Care Scheme in Sittingbourne to keep fit in later life.
Listening to residents’ feedback, Scheme Housing Officer, Sue, introduced ‘keep on moving with Sharon’ back in May 2024, an inclusive exercise class that invites residents to get together, keep fit and have fun.
Sharon now attends every month to deliver the hour-long class, which includes a warm up, a relaxing cool down and a jam-packed session that caters to all abilities.
Some residents get up and sing and dance along, whilst others remain seated. There’s also plenty of equipment, from dumbbells to beanbags, for residents to use.
Speaking of the exercise classes, residents have said: “I think everyone feels 100% happier when they walk out of there,” and “I was pleased with myself as I found I could do everything”.
