Attending Wobble classes as an Active Buddy
Katy has recently been attending Wobble classes as an Active Buddy for J a Coalition member.
What are Wobble classes!? They are seated exercise classes to music that are aimed at people who are not able to stand for the duration of a 45-minute class. They are a great low impact way of improving strength, coordination, mobility and confidence as well as supporting mental health.
Both Katy and J have enjoyed singing along whilst exercising to tracks such as “Mack the Knife”, “These Boots Are Made for Walking” as well as Abba and Megan Traynor hits! The classes are fun and engaging and guaranteed to raise a smile! J has found the classes beneficial for improving her mobility following a shoulder operation as well as increasing her social life.
