Hillbilies Wellness Fix - Highdown

Looking for a fun, friendly way to improve your fitness, strength and overall wellbeing while enjoying the great outdoors?

Come and join our popular Wellness Walking session at Highdown Hill, affectionately known by our members as the Hillbillies!

This is much more than a walk. It's a varied outdoor workout designed to improve your strength, balance, mobility, coordination and cardiovascular fitness. We use walking poles, natural features of the landscape and a range of enjoyable exercises to give the whole body a workout.

Every session offers something different, keeping both your body and mind challenged. You might find yourself working on balance, strengthening your legs, improving your posture or enjoying a few fun coordination exercises. It all helps build the fitness and confidence we need to stay active and independent as we get older.

The benefits go well beyond physical fitness. Regular activity can help support healthy blood pressure, improve stamina, maintain joint mobility and boost your mood. Exercising outdoors also gives us the chance to enjoy fresh air, beautiful surroundings and the changing seasons.

And then there's the laughter! The Hillbillies are a wonderfully friendly bunch who believe that exercise should be enjoyable as well as effective. There is always plenty of encouragement, conversation and fun along the way.

We can adapt exercises to suit different abilities, so you can work at a level that feels right for you while still giving yourself a worthwhile challenge.

Of course, the social side doesn't stop when the workout finishes. Many of us head to the tearooms afterwards for a well-earned coffee, a good chat and the chance to put the world to rights.

If you'd like to improve your fitness, meet new people and enjoy a workout that doesn't feel like a traditional exercise class, come and give the Hillbillies a try. We'd love to welcome you!
