Gymnastics classes at the Sousel Senior University continue to attract a significant number of participants, who find in physical activity a way to care for their health and strengthen social bonds.

The initiative, jointly promoted by CLDS 5G and the Municipality of Sousel, aims to encourage active aging, offering learning and well-being opportunities for the senior population of the municipality.
Regular physical exercise is highlighted as fundamental for quality of life at this stage of life, contributing to improved mobility, balance, muscle strength, and motor coordination. Beyond physical benefits, the activity promotes emotional well-being, combats social isolation, and stimulates self-esteem and daily autonomy.
The classes are described as a space for sharing and socializing, where each participant is encouraged to stay active and live this stage of life with more health and confidence.
Through this initiative, the Municipality of Sousel and CLDS 5G reinforce their commitment to promoting active aging, valuing the well-being of the senior population, and contributing to a more participatory, healthy, and inclusive community.
