Participants who would not be suitable for the program:

While the Living Longer Living Stronger Redfern program is designed to accommodate a wide range of older adults, certain participants may not be suitable without prior medical clearance or additional support. This includes individuals with severe cognitive impairments or advanced dementia, those who have recently undergone major surgery or have unstable medical conditions, and participants who require walking aids for significant mobility support or are unable to safely manage stairs at a normal pace. In such cases, a health professionals approval and tailored modifications would be necessary to ensure participant safety.

Yes, participants are encouraged to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing such as long pants and supportive footwear suitable for exercise and floor work. It is recommended that participants bring their own water bottle to stay hydrated and a towel or exercise mat if they prefer extra comfort during floor exercises.
