Residents aged 50 and over are warmly invited to flex their muscles at a special Active Seniors event on Thursday 12th January
The initiative, from 10am till 12 noon at Shoeburyness Youth Centre, Delaware Road, Shoeburyness, gives people the chance to try out a whole range of fitness activities.
On offer is everything from seated fitness, to belly dancing, circuit training, badminton, table tennis, dance fit, pilates and much more.
The action-packed event, supervised by qualified and experienced tutors, is supported by Southend-on-Sea's Legacy 2012 and Activesouthend, and aims to encourage older people to boost their health and wellbeing by taking part in sport and physical activity.
It costs just £2 per person and there will be plenty of chances for people to find out about future fitness sessions at the Centre.
Southend-on-Sea Borough Council's Executive Councillor for Culture and Tourism, Councillor Derek Jarvis, said: "This is a really terrific opportunity - especially so early in the New Year - for people to have a go at all sorts of fun physical fitness activities for a very affordable fee, and see which they would like to continue with."
