Flexercise

What is Flexercise? 

Flexercise was originally designed to benefit older people who live in nursing homes, residential homes or sheltered housing as well as those older people that attend day care centres. However, it now has a wider range of benefits including helping people with physical disabilities, learning difficulties and rehabilitation after a stroke.

Flexercise has been developed to meet the needs of older people but also provides benefits for people at risk of social isolation or exclusion and people with, or at risk of, developing mental health problems. Find out about Flexercise 2012 Workshops

Workshops run across the South Somerset District and take place 4 times a year. The format for the training is a 1-day workshop costing £15.00 including lunch and useful resources to take away. Training is ideal for residential and nursing home staff, day centre staff, sheltered housing staff, and any volunteers wishing to deliver Flexercise in the community.

Flexercise Update Workshops

We offer additional free update workshops to existing Flexercise leaders. These two hour sessions cover additional theory and practical elements of Flexercise. These update workshops are an opportunity for Flexercise leaders to expand their knowledge on the activities that they can utilise within their sessions. The day also offers the chance for leaders to network and share ideas and experiences. Lunch is offered between 12.30pm and 2.00pm and offers another opportunity to network.
