Most retired men and women in Southern Thailand don\u2019t have much to do\nduring the day and become very inactive, which in turn can result in reduced\nphysical capabilities. This can also lead to feelings of worthlessness and\ndepression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to prevent this, the team in South\nThailand offer exercise classes to retired folk. The people who attend have\nexpressed their enjoyment of this time and have spoken about improved range of\nmotion and less aches and pains. Usually when the team arrives, there are a\nnumber of people waiting and excited to start with the exercise class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the members of the class are improving,\nwe are challenging them to try to lead a class, enabling them to see the worth\nthat they themselves add to the project. Some people are excited at the\nprospect of leading and others are a bit more hesitant, but a fun time is\nalways had by all and lots of laughs decrease any nervousness the leader might\nhave had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this and other projects our team\naims to educate the community on the health benefits of regular exercise, no\nmatter what phase of life one is in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many studies have linked exercise with higher quality of life not just in young people, but especially in elderly people.
