At Mareeba, our residents enjoyed an energetic and fun-filled drumming exercise class – and the smiles said it all!

Drumming is more than just a beat — it’s a low-impact, high-energy workout that promotes physical movement, coordination, and mental stimulation. Using exercise balls and drumsticks, our residents get their heart rates up while enjoying music, rhythm, and a whole lot of laughter!

🧠 Cognitive Benefits: Improves focus, memory, and reaction time
💪 Physical Benefits: Enhances upper body strength, flexibility, and mobility
💖 Emotional Benefits: Reduces stress, lifts mood, and builds social connection

It’s a great way to keep active and engaged — all while having a blast!
