Free Healthy Women Program

UPDATE. The sessions are fully booked. Contact us if you would like to be added to a waitlist.

Tablelands Regional Council is again offering their popular and free Rural Active Women Programs.

‘North Queensland Primary Health Network assessed our community and older women in our region were shown to have low levels of physical activity compared to other areas in Far North Queensland,’ said General Manager Community and Corporate Services, Hilary Jackson.

‘So we’ve partnered with Atherton Community Health and FNQ Health and Fitness to develop and deliver another round of the free Rural Active Women Program for women aged 50 and over.

‘We hope it will create a pattern of ongoing positive behaviour and healthy exercise habits.

‘The program is open to all health, ability, experience, skill and social and economic levels and the sessions focus on core muscle groups, cardiovascular fitness, joint movement, resistance-based exercises and functional strength to aid with falls prevention.

‘Places are limited and participants need to commit to a full 14-week program of cardio and strength circuits, hydrotherapy and/or core strengthening Pilates.

‘Register before Thursday 22 February to take part in the programs,’ said Ms Jackson.
