Staying Active and Feeling Fit at Rubislaw Park
At Rubislaw Park Care Home in Aberdeen, keeping active is a big part of daily life. We know that staying active isn’t just about keeping fit—it’s about feeling good, staying connected, and making the most of every day. That’s why we’re delighted to offer a variety of fun and inclusive activities led by qualified professionals who know how to bring out the best in everyone, no matter their ability or fitness level.
From gardening to tai chi, yoga to Zumba, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our residents have embraced these sessions with real enthusiasm, whether it’s the calm and focus of yoga, the gentle movements of tai chi, or the joy and energy of a Zumba class set to lively music. Even our gardening sessions bring a sense of calm and accomplishment, with residents nurturing plants and enjoying the fresh air.
The benefits of keeping active are clear to see. Regular movement helps maintain strength and mobility, which are so important for staying independent and steady on your feet. Many residents have told us they’ve noticed their sleep has improved, and there’s often less need for medication to support it. Beyond the physical benefits, staying active is a brilliant way to lift spirits, reduce stress, and even boost memory.
The twice-weekly Zumba sessions have become a firm favourite, bringing everyone together in a way that feels more like a celebration than exercise! Meanwhile, activities like tai chi and yoga are perfect for building strength and balance, as well as offering a wonderful sense of calm and relaxation. For those who love the outdoors, our gardening sessions are a peaceful way to stay active while enjoying the beauty of nature.
We believe that supporting both physical and mental wellbeing is key to a happy and fulfilling life. Whether it’s through movement, mindfulness, or simply sharing laughter in a group setting, our activities are designed to make everyone feel included, supported, and energised.
At Rubislaw Park, it’s all about finding what works for each person and encouraging everyone to join in at their own pace. Seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter in our activity sessions reminds us why we’re so passionate about keeping our residents active and engaged.
