What senior fitness covers
Fall prevention
Leg strength, balance and reaction training that make falls less likely.

Strength
Simple, safe strength work for everyday tasks: stairs, shopping, lifting grandchildren.

Is boxing safe for seniors?
Yes, when it is coached properly. Seniors do non-contact pad and bag work, which trains coordination, reaction time and fitness, without any sparring. It is fun, social and great for the brain as well as the body.
