The benefits of pursuing an active retirement lifestyle during winter

Exercise classes for residents at Renaissance are hugely popular, thanks to accredited Exercise Physiologist Matthew Parrish who comes once a week to help residents with fitness and mobility. We asked Matthew to tell us about some benefits of why retirees should keep an active retirement lifestyle during winter.

• Walking before breakfast keeps you warm for hours
• Physical activity boosts your immunity and fights off colds & flu
• Exercise classes increase happiness and social interaction
• Hydrotherapy relieves joint pain and inflammation

Renaissance residents enjoy weekly exercise classes with Matthew from the convenience of the Village Leisure Centre. He also takes private clients and group classes at his studio in Redland Bay. To learn more please call him on 07 3206 7869 or go to www.redlandsep.com

Individual treatments are also available. Medicare, DVA, and private health fund rebates are available.
