Senior citizens need to exercise as it helps the brain, joints and wrists to remain healthy. Doing exercises also helps the immune system, fights against diseases and helps them not to get sick quickly and for long periods,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_156c4e83\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/7667\/95ed84d188ca4307949e7cfa22c65e6c.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/09c659c30cfd43fca687a0e57903a673.jpg\" title=\"The No Fear Fitness Team with senior citizens from Manenberg during and open air training session.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">The No Fear Fitness Team with senior citizens from Manenberg during and open air training session.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Louw, who is a marathon runner, says the idea is to get the pensioners active instead of just sitting in one place throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love what I do and share my experiences with our seniors. I am a runner and sharing my preparation when I am training to participate in a marathon or whatever race with them is rewarding. I also help them to make better life choices. So, instead of sitting at home and doing nothing, they can come to the centre, meet up with other seniors and enjoy the two days of exercises,\u201d Louw says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_aecfbb18\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/7667\/73965f8f52cf4d5fbd5268ef1bd639a4.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/64a28f4d99c24010804c78823837b36c.jpg\" title=\"Mary Louw (front middle) is flanked by Candice Daniels and Shirley Lucas.

Even walking from one street to another is unsafe and also a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe make do with the equipment I have, but it is not sufficient and we mostly use chairs to do the exercises. We need yoga mats, different kinds of dumbbells, balls, skipping ropes and financial assistance to give the seniors something to eat and drink after the exercise sessions,\u201d she
