Noodlelegs Health & Fitness introduces . . .

NoodleSteppin:
a fun, unique, fall-prevention class, tailored to adults 50+ at a beginner level! We work on our balance, reaction time, posture, coordination, recall, agility, and strength using functional movements . . . with lots of smiles!!

Some people say NoodleSteppin is also:

  • a workout for my brain that leaves me feeling ALIVE and more confident
  • parts of class are a bit like line-dancing, but not quite
  • a bunch of different stuff we do that gets our groove on
  • planned out steps to help with fall-prevention (and they work!)
  • different activities that keep us guessing
  • health and fall-prevention tidbits that add up to a lot
  • something I always look forward to as a fun excuse to get out of the house and meet new people — and go for coffee after class
  • a no-jumping exercise class which I appreciate
  • it’s like Cheers – a place to go where everybody’s glad you came
  • an exercise class for normal people who actually eat chocolate
  • a class where we don’t have to dress like a gym queen to belong
  • (“Well, I don’t really know how to describe NoodleSteppin, but I love the music, the instructor, and all the unexpected stuff we do and learn!”)

NoodleSteppin is a casual, non-impact, non-twisting, line-dance-kind-of-movement class for complete beginners  in a non-judgmental atmosphere  – where people can exercise safely and effectively – always with an element of fun!

NoodleSteppin may also benefit those with Osteoporosis/Arthritis because we don’t slam the feet/joints or do any jumping. You can even have a chair nearby to hang on to –  just in case.

Please note: The Monday and Wednesday classes are pretty much the same for that week, but each class has a different feel to it, and the strength portion and activities do change too.

A NoodleSteppin class will generally look like this:

  • a very slow warm up to get the body moving; this may include a fun activity that keeps you guessing
  • an “oldies” NoodleSteppin song: we will do basic, non-impact, functional body movements that are presented in a scientifically proven order to challenge our thinking and coordination
  • we take a break, have some water, and grab our resistance bands for the strengthening portion of class
  • gentle strength training portion- can be done from a seated or standing position (no floor mat work)
  • cool down

One more NoodleSteppin session remains for the spring 2025 (April-May). Only a few spots remain! Sign up here. 

Then for the late spring/summer most Noodleleggers turn to the Noodlelegs Nordic Pole Walking Adventures because we are outside and enjoying the beautiful Okanagan!

NoodleSteppin will resume mid Sept 2025. Schedule to be posted in July. To get on the notification list, contact Noodlelegs!

GOOD TIMES, GREAT NOODLELEGGERS!

“With these Noodlelegs activities, you aren’t seen as ‘just an old lady’. You are treated as a respected friend, and as someone who matters. FINALLY!! The instructor understands that we want to get out, have fun, meet some new friends, laugh and feel better! This is what Vernon desperately needs!”- L, 77

“Noodlelegs activities are FUN! Everybody needs to do something like this. The old saying is true: if you don’t use it, you lose it. And this REALLY applies to us sendentary folks nowadays. Join Noodlelegs classes and re-visit fun PE activities that are tailored for us ‘life-experienced’ folk!” – S, 78

Noodlelegs Health & Fitness holds indoor NoodleSteppin classes at:

Knox Presbyterian Church
3701 32nd Ave, Vernon BC
(along Alexis Park Drive in Vernon)

NEEDED:

  • For our strength training portion in our NoodleSteppin class, we will be using resistance bands. Please bring yours.
  • If you have more than one band, bring them! You may want bands of different strengths for different exercises.
  • Please bring water, a snack, any needed medications, weather appropriate clothing  – and smiles!

CLOTHING:

  • No, you do not need a cowgirl/cowboy hat . . . but feel free to wear one, or some other another dancing hat! Be YOU! This is YOUR time!
  • No, you don’t need cowboy boots because we aren’t doing any hard stomping moves. Please wear comfortable shoes without heels, and that are loosely-snug on your feet. (The instructor will be wearing running shoes.)
  • No, you don’t need tight, fancy line-dancing jeans! In the strength training portion, you will want to be able to sit and move comfortably. (The instructor will be wearing comfortable sweats and tshirt.)  But wear whatever you feel best in. Just know that this isn’t a fashion show by any means. It’s a casual, fun, family atmosphere!

1. You may register online for Spring 2025 here

2. Call 250.549.6778 in the evenings for more information and we will help you get registered

GREAT! Then you’ll fit in perfectly with our classes —>  where nobody cares!

We use music to help improve our coordination, balance, agility and fall prevention techniques. But, if you are a dancer, you may not appreciate the “non-fluidity” of the movements to the music!! Each movement presented has a hidden agenda: functional fitness for us older adults. So some of our moves aren’t necessarily “dance” moves, while some dance moves may be used but are slightly adapted. 

We are here to laugh, have fun, move and groove – and improve!

Payment instructions will be send upon class registration confirmation.

Important Note: You CANNOT participate in Noodlelegs Noodlesteppin classes without these health forms filled out and handed to the Noodlelegs instructor.

Your choice:

download, print and fill these forms out – then bring them to first class
or
arrive early to your first class and fill them out

With your registration, you will indicate your preferred method to fill these out.  But please have a boo at these required health forms to see if you need a health care professional consult before you exercise.

Required forms

Yes – you may join after the start date— if there’s room…

Everything is explained thoroughly in each class. You aren’t expected to have any previous knowledge to begin! We all learn new stuff each class.

Just call Noodlelegs to see if there’s availability or get on the waitlist for the next session.

Noodlelegs doesn’t have regular drop in classes, but if you’d like to try it once to see if it fits with your individual medical needs, we understand.

Please talk to the instructor via email (lise@noodlelegs.ca) or phone 250.549.6778 (evenings) and we will try and accommodate if the classes aren’t full.
