‘A new age of ageing’ has dawned as a fitness group launched its first session in a Palmers Green park.
Some borough’s older generation were treated to a free class of Latin American dance and Nordic walking at Broomfield Park, in Palmers Green.
Silverfit has launched the sessions that will take place every Friday at the park.
Guests were also treated to tea, coffee and refreshments after the exercises and heard from special guest Steve Trew, world triathlon coach, commentator and journalist.
He said: “I am delighted to be here today. We are in a new age of ageing, lives and expectations have changed massively and getting older now is a new beginning. There is a life beyond retirement and opportunities to enjoy new activities.
“It’s great that Silverfit offers a choice of activities. Keep moving and don't focus on activities you don't really enjoy doing. Just do whatever you do, and make sure you enjoy doing it then you are much more likely to continue in an active lifestyle."
