Pernille leads this weekly training session for people aged 55 and over at Ørestad skøjtehal. Each session works on strength, flexibility, balance, stamina and brain exercises, with a fun, upbeat atmosphere. Exercises are done standing, lying or seated, so everyone can take part at their own level, and equipment such as balls, elastic bands, small hand weights and beanbags is used.
Pernille has worked with gymnastics and movement for almost 40 years and has been a gymnastics instructor since 1981. She holds a degree in sports science from the University of Copenhagen and DGI instructor qualifications, and she is also a personal trainer. For those who want more, there is an optional strength and conditioning session in a small fitness room with a few machines, and the instructor can suggest a personal training programme. Coffee and packed lunches are often shared after the session.
