STRONGER FOR LIFE


[Approved by ACC’s Live Stronger for Longer programme]

A quarterly walk/run and strength & balance programme
for adults aged 55+, with a strong focus on healthy ageing, confidence, and independence.

As we age, injuries — particularly those caused by falls — can have a significant impact not only on individuals, but also on families, whānau, and communities.

Strength and balance programmes are widely recognised in New Zealand as an effective way to help reduce the risk of falls, improve confidence with everyday movement, and support older adults to remain active and independent for longer.

Stronger for Life has been designed around these same principles, with a focus on practical, achievable movement that supports strength, balance, and confidence in everyday life.

What You’ll Actually Do

Stronger for Life is simple and practical. Here’s what participants typically do each month:

1. Walk or move regularly
Choose a level that suits you and work towards a monthly walking or activity goal.

2. Follow simple strength and balance exercises
Complete guided exercises designed to help improve strength, stability, and confidence with everyday movement.

3. Track your progress
Use your personal Stronger for Life tracker to record your activity and see your progress build over the quarter.

All exercises can be done at home, at your own pace, with clear guidance provided.
