Falls Prevention Workshop at the Cobourg Y

Falls prevention programs focused on helping older adults stay active and improve strength, mobility and balance. Among those who are 65 years or older, 35-45% of healthy adults fall at least once a year. A Falls Prevention program can reduce the rate of falls in participants by 25-40%.

Nordic Pole Walking at the Cobourg Y

Nordic Pole Walking will pump up your cardio by increasing oxygen consumption, reduce stress to your knees and lower joints and improve posture while strengthening your upper body to create resistance to build better bone density. Bring your poles – if you have no poles, we will supply. Learn the foundation of nordic pole walking. There will be a brisk 45 minute walk around the neighbourhood after a brief introduction and warm-up.

A state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion can cause excessive and prolonged stress. If you feel like you are “running on empty” or want to prevent getting there, now is the time to understand the factors needed to prevent burnout to transform how you feel about work and allow you to enjoy life. Guest Speaker: Dr. Sarah Vosburg, Naturopathic doctor from Cobourg.
