Fun Senior Classes
Strength, flexibility and balance training have been shown to compensate for bone density loss and restore bone density. Having stronger bones leads to fewer fractures and can also aid in balance. By reducing the risk of falls and injuries, exercise can help seniors live independently for longer and help lessen the pain and stiffness of arthritis.
Come and join others who are gaining brilliant benefits from these classes. They are held at Woburn Appartments on Wai-it Cres, Lower Hutt (next to Woburn Masonic), on Friday from 11 am to 11.45 am. Non-residents of all levels, shapes, and sizes are welcome.
—only $8 for this fabulous fun session, where options are given throughout the class.
I'm also a Registered Nurse and know the importance of exercise for seniors.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
