A friend dragged me along to this exercise class recently, and I have to admit I am feeling the benefits.
It's nice and gentle, no floor work, and apart from a few sidesteps it all takes place standing on the spot. It's about strengthening muscles to improve your balance and I have noticed I am walking better already. Best of all, you know you have done a workout, but are not puffed out or hot and sweaty afterwards. I shall carry on going for a while, but being a simple routine, it could easily be done at home, which will be great in the winter.
I bought it when the sciatica hit me as I wasn't able to walk without pain, but that's passed now but I still love using the machine.
But I'm keen to do anything that keeps me "young" and nimble in my dotage. Mind you, something must be working because the kitchen guy thought I was 51 which isn't bad considering I was far older than that on Monday.
