• CSU facilitates free Ageing Well workshops for over-60s at Bathurst Seymour Centre
• Two four-week workshops use research and education to empower participants to be healthier

New free-of-charge Ageing Well workshops facilitated by a Charles Sturt University (CSU) researcher are being offered by Bathurst Seymour Centre for people aged over 60.

CSU adjunct research fellow in the CSU School of Exercise Science, Exercise and Health Dr Eevon Stott said the four-week two-hour workshops are being provided free to anyone over 60.

“The Ageing Well workshops will benefit people aged over 60 by providing greater awareness of how exercise can improve their physical well-being,” Dr Stott said.

“We draw together research and education to empower the community to get healthier.

“There will be two series of workshops, each with the capacity for 12 participants.

“Each workshop consists of four sessions, and are designed to cover cardiovascular fitness, muscular fitness, flexibility, balance and function.”

The two programs’ times and dates are scheduled for:

• 9.30am to 11.30am on Fridays on 3, 10, 17 and 24 May, and
• 9.30am to 11.30am on Wednesdays on 29 May, 5, 12 and 19 June

The first series of workshops will be held on Friday mornings beginning early May and the second series of workshops will be held on Wednesday mornings beginning late May.

The venue is the Community Room, opposite Bathurst Seymour Centre, 55 Seymour Street.

Spaces are limited and bookings are essential. People interested to participate need to contact Bathurst Seymour Centre by phoning 6332 1449 to register their interest.
