Seated Exercise

Easy Seated Exercise to Music

As well as Belly Dance classes Samirah runs an Easy seated exercise class for the over 65s (or anyone who wants a gentle form of exercise) in Hatfield Heath and hopes to expand to other areas soon.

Keeping fit and social interaction are key to general well being and mental health. Some folks have found that getting out and about after the pandemic and lock down a bit difficult, they hold an anxiety or stress, making it hard to get out the door and meet new people.

With this in mind we have created easy seated exercise to music, to encourage those feeling lonely or isolated to venture out and have somewhere safe to go and have fun, meet new friends and keep fit at the same time.

Held in the Hatfield Village Hall, Fridays 11am - 12pm

New* For Thorley U3A Members, In Havers Community Centre, Bishop's Stortford starting Thursday 18th January 2024 at 10.30am

Cost: £4/5

Refreshments are served after the session at Hatfield Heath.
