Give you the chance to get outdoors
Ecotherapy is becoming more widely used as
research proves the benefits of being out in the
countryside. You may not always be able to
exercise in a rural spot, but getting outside to
enjoy some fresh air and sunshine is great for
your mental and physical health; some sunshine
is necessary for us to produce Vitamin D
which, among other things, is essential for absorption
of calcium and good bone health.
Put more fun in your life
Experiment with different forms of exercise and
you may discover one that you actually find fun,
whether that’s country bike rides, Zumba or a
sport. This makes exercise something you look
forward to, rather than a chore.
Improve your social life and family life
Some Ideas for What’s Available Locally
Silver Swans
Stephanie runs classes both in Milford
& Lymington. Silver Swans is an
initiative by the Royal Academy of
Dance which has been developed for older
learners so they too, can take part in ballet
classes.
It is a gentle class - it’s not about doing Grand
Jetés across the room or multiple pirouettes!
Classes are aimed at the over 55s but there are
also some younger Silver Swans .
The classes can help improve mobility, posture,
coordination, balance, memory, and energy
levels - and you also get to meet new people!
Plus, it's just nice to be moving to lovely music.
Classes are made up of a full cross section:
Those who have danced as a child and want to
come back to it, those who were not able to do
ballet as a child for whatever reason, and now
If you join exercise classes or activity groups,
you will benefit from the positive effects that
socialising can have on your health and wellbeing.
There may be related social activities and
you could make new friends. You can also exercise
with your family and, if you have children,
becoming fitter will help you to take part in
more of their fun and games. Team sports can
also provide a sense of belonging and motivate
you to improve and help your team become
successful.
Zumba, tennis, surfing, swimming, rowing, boxing,
karate, netball, Pilates, ballroom dancing…
there are many types of sport and exercise, so
keep an open mind and try out several to find
something you enjoy.
as an adult want to give it a try. There are also
some who do it for the exercise, others who
have watched their children dance and want to
give it a go themselves! Complete beginners
are also welcome.
